Corporate Sloppiness
Current Privacy Storm As of the moment, there is no official government explanation for Arizona’s rank as the worst state for ID theft. However, Identity Theft 911, a leading provider of identity management, resolution and education services, released a new report that highlights potential reasons for the dramatic increase of identity theft, including: illegal immigration (fraudulent employment, social security benefits); Drug trafficking; Arizona state government's lack of action in combating this type crime.

Federal Trade Commission Has settled 14 cases “challenging faulty data-security practices by companies that handle sensitive consumer information.” They almost always require a security audit every 2 years for the next 10-20 years.
Texas – Attorney General Sues Company for Privacy Violations Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is suing EZCORP Inc. for allegedly contributing to the possibility of identity theft. The attorney general alleges that EZCORP Inc. of Austin and its subsidiary, EZPAWN, have exposed customers to identity theft by failing to properly protect customer records. Joe Rotunda, EZCORP president and CEO, responded to the suit by saying that the company has a number of identity protection policies and systems in place. Attorney General alleges in his lawsuit that employees at several San Antonio EZPAWN stores dumped personal business records in trash bins behind the stores. The attorney general's investigation found similarly discarded customer data at dumpsters of nearby stores in Austin, Houston, Lubbock and in the Rio Grande Valley area, according to the suit.
Poor Information Management Practices Largely at Fault The Gartner Group has estimated that internal employees commit 70% of information intrusions, and more than 95% of intrusions that result in significant financial losses; — IPC Publication. Identity Theft Revisited: Security is Not Enough, www.ipc.on.ca/userfiles/page_attachments/idtheft-revisit.pdf
Identity Theft Source: Consumer Sentinel Arizona ranks number 1 in the nation for identity theft complaints per capita. More than a third of stolen identities in Arizona are used for fraudulent employment. www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=5874

Know what data you have and where it is! McKesson …. Notified patients that the computers were stolen on July 18, 2007.

Mind the GAPP: Accountants bring GAAP-like principles to the privacy sphere “If you haven't heard of the Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP), take stock: They're likely to become the most important new source of requirements for your IT projects since Y2k and Sarbanes-Oxley. Why is this? The accounting industry has closed ranks around the idea that the GAPP is the best international framework for assessing the privacy health of an organization. So when it comes to IT projects, any system or related business process touching personal data will have new rules to play by.” Computerworld, December 6, 2007

AGENDA Overview of Privacy Breach Trends Overview of GAPP & How it may be used GAPP & Privacy Risk Assessment Q&A
22 Overview of Privacy Audits Growing demand Types of audits Internal audits Regulatory External Management Elements of the privacy audit Scope Measurement criteria Generally Accepted Privacy Principles - GAPP Type and use of report
23 AGENDA Privacy: Our Definition What is GAPP? Privacy Principles Components of GAPP Comparison with International Concepts Some Benefits of GAPP Using GAPP for Privacy Audits Other Application Examples
24 PRIVACY: OUR DEFINITION PRIVACY encompasses the rights and obligations of individuals and organizations with respect to the… Collection Use Disclosure, and Retention …of personal information.
25 Rights and Obligations
26 OVERALL PRIVACY OBJECTIVE Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed in conformity with the commitments in the entity’s privacy notice and with criteria set forth in Generally Accepted Privacy Principles issued by the AICPA/CICA.
27 WHAT IS GAPP? Generally Accepted Privacy Principles Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Help guide organizations in implementing, sustaining and auditing privacy programs
28 WHAT IS GAPP? A set of 10 privacy principles and 66 related criteria for privacy and the handling of personal information throughout an organization Incorporates concepts from domestic and foreign laws, regulations, guidelines, and other bodies of knowledge on privacy One of a series of Trust Services offered by CPAs which also include: Security Process integrity Availability Confidentiality Privacy
29 What are the Principles? 1 - Management: The entity defines, documents, communicates, and assigns accountability for its privacy policies and procedures. 2 - Notice: The entity provides notice about its privacy policies and procedures and identifies the purposes for which personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed. 3 - Choice and Consent: The entity describes the choices available to the individual and obtains implicit or explicit consent with respect to the collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal information. 4 - Collection: The entity collects personal information only for the purposes identified in the notice. 5 - Use and Retention: The entity limits the use of personal information to the purposes identified in the notice and for which the individual has provided implicit or explicit consent. The entity retains personal information for only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes.
30 6 - Access: The entity provides individuals with access to their personal information for review and update. 7 - Disclosure: The entity discloses personal information to third parties only for the purposes identified in the notice and with the implicit or explicit consent of the individual. 8 - Security for Privacy: The entity protects personal information against unauthorized access (both physical and logical). 9 - Quality: The entity maintains accurate, complete, and relevant personal information for the purposes identified in the notice. 10 - Monitoring & Enforcement: The entity monitors compliance with its privacy policies and procedures and has procedures to address privacy-related complaints and disputes. What are the Principles?
31 COMPONENTS OF GAPP Section Definition Policies and Communication: Privacy Policies Communication to Internal Personnel
32 COMPONENTS OF GAPP Responsibility and Accountability for Policies
33 COMPARISON OF INTERNATIONAL CONCEPTS
34 SOME BENEFITS OF GAPP Business, rather than regulatory, focused Examples based upon best practices Aligned with key regulations
35 Using GAPP for Privacy Audits - 1 Reason for audit Public reporting - “external audit” Could include a “WebTrust Seal” on website Management reporting - “internal audit” Regulatory requirement FTC and Ontario Privacy Commissioner Scope for an external audit Entire business Business segment Needs to address entire information cycle Collection through destruction Includes consideration of third-party processors Needs to include all 10 privacy principles
36 Using GAPP for Privacy Audits - 2 Performed under AICPA Attestation Standards Report covers a period of time and opines on Effectiveness of controls over privacy of personal information collected based on its privacy notice and GAPP Complied with the commitments in its privacy notice Important that client is ready
37 Using GAPP for Privacy Audits - 3 Other Types of Privacy “Audits” Internal audit GAP GAPP Assessment Focused on a few principles or all Maturity model assessment Report for management use only Regulatory audits Usually required following a breach FTC has focused on security Ontario Privacy Commissioner has required a GAPP audit
38 OTHER GAPP APPLICATION EXAMPLES Company A adopts GAPP as the basis of its privacy program for its U.S.-based online operations and includes GAPP’s principles and criteria in its online privacy policy. GAPP’s criteria and illustrations serves as the basis for the privacy procedures. Company B adopts GAPP as the basis for its global privacy program so it can follow consistent privacy practices and use similar terminology across its various countries of operations. Although country specific exceptions and variations still exist, they are being captured in policy and procedures. Company C uses GAPP as a benchmark against internal privacy practices and procedures. Company D uses GAPP as a basis for a risk assessment
39 So - Is GAPP the Next SOX? More breaches might result in a mandatory audit requirement to protect personal information More organizations will voluntarily want an audit to demonstrate that they have an effective privacy program Organizations will want the 3rd party processors they use to have an audit of their privacy-related controls
