A number of additional laws have been enacted in recent years directing agency heads to designate senior officials as focal points with overall responsibility for privacy. GAO was asked to (1) describe laws and guidance that set requirements for senior privacy officials within federal agencies, and (2) describe the organizational structures used by agencies to address privacy requirements and assess whether senior officials have oversight over key functions. To achieve these objectives, GAO analyzed the laws and related guidance and analyzed policies and procedures relating to key privacy functions at 12 agencies.Privacy Data protectionGovernment policyUnited StatesDatabase securityGovernment policyUnited StatesGovernment executivesUnited StatesData protectionGovernment policyDatabase securityGovernment policyGovernment executivesUnited States.Congress.Senate.Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia.EJBEJBEJBGPOBOOK9910696731703321Privacy660876UNINA
