Information Privacy Engineering and Privacy by Design: Understanding Privacy Threats, Technology, and Regulations Based on Standards and Best Practice, Paperback

Organizations of all kinds are recognizing the crucial importance of protecting privacy. Their customers, employees, and other stakeholders demand it. Today, failures to safeguard privacy can destroy organizational reputations -- and even the organizations themselves. But implementing effective privacy protection is difficult, and there are few comprehensive resources for those tasked with doing so. In Information Privacy Engineering and Privacy by Design, renowned information technology author William Stallings brings together the comprehensive and practical guidance you need to succeed. Stallings shows how to apply today's consensus best practices and widely-accepted standards documents in your environment, leveraging policy, procedures, and technology to meet legal and regulatory requirements and protect everyone who depends on you. Like Stallings' other award-winning texts, this guide is designed to help readers quickly find the information and gain the mastery needed to implement effective privacy. Coverage includes:

• Planning for privacy: approaches for managing and controlling the privacy control function; how to define your IT environment's requirements; and how to develop appropriate policies and procedures for it
• Privacy threats: Understanding and identifying the full range of threats to privacy in information collection, storage, processing, access, and dissemination
• Information privacy technology: Satisfying the privacy requirements you've defined by using technical controls, privacy policies, employee awareness, acceptable use policies, and other techniques
• Legal and regulatory requirements: Understanding GDPR as well as the current spectrum of U.S. privacy regulations, with insight for mapping regulatory requirements to IT actions
