Innovative Approaches to achieve Privacy by Design | Knowledgenile
What is Privacy by Design?
A framework through which the privacy by design for operations of Information technology systems, integrated networks, business models can be embedded successfully.
The term was first coined back in 1995 by Ann Cavoukian. And the framework was first published in 2009. Though Ann Cavoukian’s theory has been termed as vague and since then there has been the tremendous development from all the fronts. Even the GDPR incorporates the current framework of Privacy by Design.
According to Dr Ann Cavoukian, “Protecting privacy while meeting the regulatory requirements for data protection around the world is becoming an increasingly challenging task. Taking a comprehensive, properly implemented risk-based approach—where globally defined risks are anticipated, and countermeasures are built into systems and operations, by design—can be far more effective, and more likely to respond to the broad range of requirements in multiple jurisdictions.”
What are the Guidelines of a Privacy by Design framework?
The privacy by design framework is based on the seven founding principles, and the guidelines mentioned in it have strictly adhered while implementing the technology. Let’s take a look at the guidelines in brief.
- Proactivity
The ideal framework has to be proactive and not reactive meaning it should be used as a preventive method instead of implementing it as a remedial measure. The framework should ideally prevent the attacks rather than having to resort to counter-measures.
- Confidentiality- Default priority
The confidentiality of personal data is integrated by default with the framework, and an individual doesn’t have to take any special action on his/her part.
- User-oriented Design
The framework has to be designed keeping in mind the priority has to be given to user experience, and it should be made user-friendly.
