Don't recreate the wheel - it's already been made for you.Sep 08, 2006
By Kevin Beaver
If you're a compliance manager, corporate attorney, CPO, CSO, CISO, or really in any position where you're responsible for the privacy and safeguarding of sensitive information, this toolkit is a must-have. It's not a bunch of fluff theory - it's practical privacy guidance you can use in the real-world.
The toolkit covers information privacy at a level that I've never seen before. Everything from managing a privacy governance program, finding where you're weak, developing privacy policies and procedures (samples included), and various organizational and technology-based controls you can use to protect private information.
The toolkit also has some good leadership tips, privacy awareness tools, external privacy resource links, and information on basically every current U.S. and international privacy law and regulation that affects business. Everything is accessible via HTML too which provides for easy links and cross referencing.
Even with this toolkit, managing privacy initiatives will require some effort on your part since every organization's needs are unique and nothing is truly cut and paste. However, the meat of this toolkit is a very large part of the deliverables you'd get if you hired an outside professional to do the work for you - just at a fraction of the price.

Vital privacy referenceAug 31, 2006
By Ben Rothke
"Author of 'Computer Security: 20 Things Every Employee Should Know'"
In the early days of nuclear physics, many people scoffed at the notion that splitting an atom could devastate cities. They simply did not understand the power of the atom. In many ways, privacy is akin to the atom: it sits dormant among the minutiae of life until it is split, or invaded, unleashing forces that can have destructive consequences.
Myriad incidents this year alone have clearly demonstrated that if privacy is not effectively managed, the fallout can be "nuclear." Just consider the number of times that the loss of customer data has created firestorms. One incident can affect millions of clients and cost companies many more millions in downstream liability.
For those who are serious about privacy--and everyone should be--The Privacy Management Toolkit is an invaluable instrument for achieving privacy compliance. Its eight chapters and eleven appendices cover every aspect of privacy relevant to an organization. Every crucial area is discussed, from creating a privacy governance program and defining personally identifiable information to understanding U.S. and international privacy-related laws and implementing privacy-enhancing technologies.
After performing a self-assessment, many organizations will find that their data are far less private than they thought. But privacy is too important to be left unmanaged, given the explosive consequences of its compromise. This is a very useful resource for managing organizational privacy initiatives.
