Privacy

Mahremiyet

D5

Privacy concerns people’s interests and rights in relation to the processing and protection of information about them.

Review status: 2027-02-24

Technical explanation

Privacy risk management considers how data processing can create problematic impacts for individuals and how an organization governs, controls, communicates about, and protects that processing.

Conceptual boundaries

Privacy is not identical to confidentiality, security, anonymity, consent, or compliance with a particular legal regime.

Provider-neutral example

Before using customer messages to evaluate an AI assistant, a team can identify the processing purpose, limit access, document retention choices, and communicate relevant handling information.

Limitations

A privacy framework supports risk management but does not itself determine legal compliance in every jurisdiction.

    Supported claim
    NIST distinguishes management of privacy risk from cybersecurity-related privacy events, for which Protect-P is specifically focused.

    Scope limitation
    This distinction does not make privacy and security unrelated; it avoids treating them as identical.
