Nymity Launches a Pragmatic and Scalable Framework for Organisations to Demonstrate Data Privacy Accountability through Metrics

Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) October 10, 2013

Vancouver, Canada - October 10, 2013 - Nymity is excited to announce its latest accountability research - the Data Privacy Accountability Scorecard™ (“Scorecard”) – freely available to all organisations. With increased global attention to data privacy accountability and the mutual desire of responsible organisations and data privacy regulators for a scalable and practical approach to demonstrate the effectiveness of a privacy program, Nymity is pleased to introduce the Scorecard to meet these current and future needs.

Martin Abrams, Executive Director & Chief Strategist of the Information Accountability Foundation states, “The Scorecard is an example of how responsible organisations with established privacy programs can stand ready to demonstrate accountability and benefit from doing so.”

The Scorecard enables an organisation to monitor and measure its privacy program, thus, providing the metrics to report on its privacy program to management and other interested stakeholders, with evidence.

As observed by Nymity, to demonstrate accountability is to provide evidence that an organisation has an established privacy program – on demand.

Joe Alhadeff, VP Global Public Policy and Chief Privacy Strategist at Oracle states, “The ability to demonstrate accountability is a topic of great interest and currency among privacy regulators and professionals alike; Nymity making its "Scorecard" available for free, in an easily accessible format with supporting materials and training videos, enables organisations of all sizes more opportunities to organize and present how they address accountability.”

“Nymity is proud that the first conference presentation of the Scorecard will take place in Vancouver at the Privacy and Access 20/20: A New Vision for Information Rights conference. The Scorecard is aligned with Nymity’s vision of continually challenging traditional approaches to compliance with leading technology and research,” says Terry McQuay, President of Nymity.

To learn more about the Scorecard and how it can be integrated within your organisation, contact Nymity or download your Scorecard template to demonstrate accountability.
