It consolidates the privacy standards backbone, the core data-flow and classification heuristics, and the DPIA threshold logic needed to keep privacy reviews focused on workflow, evidence, and implementation readiness. > [!NOTE] > This skill is a planning aid, not legal advice. Its standards summaries support privacy reasoning and review preparation; they do not substitute for qualified legal counsel or a formal regulatory interpretation. ## Attribution and licensing posture - NIST Privacy Framework and NISTIR 8062 are U.S. Government documents and are referenced here with attribution as public-domain reference material. Public-domain material carries no license obligation, so it adds no term to the package license expression. - GDPR and CCPA/CPRA content is paraphrased and attributed rather than quoted verbatim, consistent with the repository's open legal-text posture. The paraphrase is this repository's own expression. - OWASP privacy-risk material is adapted from the OWASP Top 10 Privacy Risks project, which is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0. ShareAlike propagates to that derivative, so it is the one file carrying a copyleft term. The frontmatter expression is the conjunction of every license present in the package. The table states which license governs each file. | Path | License | Origin | |--------------------------------------------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | `references/owasp-top-10-privacy-risks.md` | CC-BY-SA-3.0 | Adapted from OWASP Top 10 Privacy Risks v2.0 (CC BY-SA 3.0) | | `references/nist-privacy-framework.md` | CC-BY-4.0 | Adapted from NIST Privacy Framework v1.0 (public domain) | | `references/nistir-8062.md` | CC-BY-4.0 | Adapted from NISTIR 8062 (public domain) | | `references/gdpr.md` | CC-BY-4.0 | Paraphrase of GDPR, not reproduced | | `references/ccpa-cpra.md` | CC-BY-4.0 | Paraphrase of CCPA/CPRA, not reproduced | | `references/dpia-thresholds.md` | CC-BY-4.0 | Repository-original planning synthesis | | `references/data-governance-controls.md` | CC-BY-4.0 | Repository-original planning synthesis | | `SKILL.md` and remaining package content | CC-BY-4.0 | Repository-original | ## Framework index - [NIST Privacy Framework](references/nist-privacy-framework.md) - [NISTIR 8062](references/nistir-8062.md) - [GDPR overview](references/gdpr.md) - [CCPA/CPRA overview](references/ccpa-cpra.md) - [OWASP Top 10 Privacy Risks](references/owasp-top-10-privacy-risks.md) - [DPIA threshold heuristics](references/dpia-thresholds.md) - [Data governance controls for release readiness](references/data-governance-controls.md) ## Privacy planning heuristics - Start with a data inventory and map the personal data lifecycle: collection, transfer, storage, use, sharing, retention, and deletion. - Separate the data categories from the processing purpose so the planner or reviewer can assess necessity, proportionality, and appropriate control selection. - Identify whether the workflow involves sensitive data, automated decision-making, profiling, or cross-organization sharing, because these conditions often trigger a deeper review. - Track the evidence trail for each privacy decision so the handoff can include the standards references, the supporting rationale, and the review context. ## Citation-field vocabulary Use these fields when capturing a finding, control, or risk so the reviewer can assert a stable source-control reference: - `gdpr_article` - `ccpa_section` - `nist_pf_category` - `nistir8062_objective` - `owasp_privacy_id` ## Phase-to-framework mapping | Privacy phase | Primary standards package | Notes | |-----------------------|----------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Phase 1 Capture | NIST Privacy Framework + GDPR | Context, scope, and legal basis framing | | Phase 2 Data Mapping | NIST Privacy Framework + NISTIR 8062 | Data inventory, purpose, and minimization reasoning | | Phase 3 Risk and DPIA | GDPR + CCPA/CPRA + NISTIR 8062 | DPIA triggers, risk analysis, and proportionality | | Phase 4 Controls | NIST Privacy Framework + OWASP Privacy Risks | Controls for collection, use, sharing, and retention | | Phase 5 Impact | GDPR + CCPA/CPRA + OWASP Privacy Risks | Potential harm, mitigation, and monitoring | | Phase 6 Handoff | All sources | Evidence handoff, review notes, and action tracking | ## Open-standards catalog Use the links below as the reference catalog for open privacy standards and governance resources.
