The assessor organization can issue the DSCI certification to the assessee organization if it is satisfied with the assessment outcome.
The DAF P explicitly states that only DSCI has the authority to issue privacy certification. The assessor organization conducts the assessment and submits the findings and recommendation, but the final certification decision rests solely with DSCI based on its review process.
[DSCI Assessment Framework for Privacy (DAF P)]
The entire assessment process, from commencement to submission of final report to DSCI must be completed within 2 weeks.
According to the DSCI Assessment Framework for Privacy (DAF P), the total duration for completing the assessment, from the initial kickoff to the final report submission to DSCI, must be concluded within a two-week period. This timeline ensures the assessment stays current and reflects the organization's real-time privacy status during certification.
What is a Data Controller?
As per the DSCI Privacy Framework and consistent with definitions in APEC and GDPR standards, a Data Controller (or Personal Information Controller) is defined as:
''A person or organization who controls the collection, holding, processing, or use of personal information. It includes one who instructs another to do so on its behalf.''
Thus, a data controller determines the ''purpose and means'' of processing, not merely performing or facilitating storage or sharing.
This is a central concept to ensuring accountability in privacy frameworks, as the controller is the primary entity responsible for compliance with data protection principles.
__________ calls for inclusion of data protection from the onset of the designing of systems.
The concept of 'Privacy by Design' is a core principle emphasized in the DSCI Privacy Framework (DPF) and DSCI Assessment Framework for Privacy (DAF-P). This principle requires that privacy be integrated into the design specifications and architecture of IT systems and business processes, right from the start of the development process rather than being added later as an afterthought.
The DSCI Privacy Framework states:
'Privacy by Design is a proactive approach that embeds privacy into the design and operation of IT systems, networked infrastructure, and business practices. It aims to ensure that privacy is built into the system by default, thereby preventing privacy-invasive events before they happen.'
This ensures data protection is foundational to system architecture and not merely a compliance requirement added later. This proactive method mitigates risks and enhances user trust by safeguarding personal information through preventive measures rather than reactive ones.
Following aspects can serve as inputs to a privacy organization for ensuring privacy protection:
I) Privacy related incidents detected/reported
II) Contractual obligations
III) Organization's exposure to personal information
IV) Regulatory requirements
The DSCI Privacy Framework recommends that a privacy program must be tailored based on several practical and operational inputs. These include:
Reported privacy incidents (to identify risk patterns and weaknesses)
Contractual obligations (which dictate processing standards for third parties)
Exposure to personal information (understanding where and how personal data is processed)
Regulatory compliance (to ensure adherence to national and international laws)
All four listed aspects contribute to the risk-based and dynamic implementation of privacy strategies within an organization.
