Introducing the Design Assurance Standard for public commentary! The Design Process Standard (Process Standard) was adopted in January 2023 with this Design Assurance Standard (Assurance Standard) following two years later. While the Process Standard details the components necessary in a design process to incorporate privacy considerations and reduce privacy risks, this Assurance Standard uses an assurance case to confirm an organization’s claim that a specific product, service, or business process has been designed, developed, or deployed with privacy aforethought.
In other words, the Assurance Standard doesn’t apply to an organization but to a specific object of evaluation. The intent of this certifiable standard is for organizations to demonstrate that they have achieved reasonable assurance around “privacy by design and default” claims.
This is only a draft. Based on all feedback, the Standards Committee will finalize the draft and release the final Design Assurance Standard V. 1.0 in 2025. Public commentary will be collected until November 1, 2024. Submit your comments below!
