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.
- GDPR and CCPA/CPRA content is paraphrased and attributed rather than quoted verbatim, consistent with the repository's open legal-text posture.
- OWASP privacy-risk material is used as a planning reference and is attributed to the OWASP project.
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:

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 |
