About this skill

Privacy Standards Skill

This skill is the reusable privacy reference package for the Privacy Planner and Privacy Reviewer. 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.

Framework index

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
