SI-19(1) Collection
Control enhancement of SI-19 De-identification
Control
De-identify the dataset upon collection by not collecting personally identifiable information.
Discussion
If a data source contains personally identifiable information but the information will not be used, the dataset can be de-identified when it is created by not collecting the data elements that contain the personally identifiable information. For example, if an organization does not intend to use the social security number of an applicant, then application forms do not ask for a social security number.
Need SI-19(1) implemented and evidenced?
We assess where you stand against this control, document the gap, and build the remediation plan your auditor and your board will both accept.
