Abstract 

Since the first signatory in 1980, the international standardisation of Security and Privacy law has been underway to become formalised into regulation, and as of March 2024, into enforceable law, which is now implemented in the EU through the General Data Protection Regulation. This has paved the way for the ratification of the updated to the 108 Convention from the Council of Europe to Convention 108+. The international commonwealth privacy framework, which is interoperable with the ISO/iEC 29100 security and privacy framework, also widely adopted and open access.

...

In Part 2 of the scheme (in the Appendix A) a transparency information request is sent to the controller using the PII Controller Record that is generated in Part 1 of the assessment scheme to; a) test the operational performance of transparency and consent information by making a rights request or complaint and, b) assess compliance in accordance to the international adequacy baseline.

...

Application

4 Transparency Performance Indicators asses transparency signalling in Part 1,

  1. when PII Controller Identity information is provided in accordance to when data is captured, to assess the security and privacy risk and complianceWhat , to determine the legal validity of consent.

  2. If required PII Controller Identity information is provided and its operational performance the assess ability . to assess operational complinace for any legal justification or authority.

  3. Accessibility & Authenticity the presentation accessibility of the PII Controller Identity Information and Privacy Notice in digital context, and the terms and definitions used in the notice, notification or disclosure. assess data sovereignty security risk, - digital security certificate integrirty, , taking into account device accessibility, the language and number of screens to access privacy information. in order to then assess the terms and their definition against the legal (and expected) terms and definitions.

  4. Security integrity, of a SSL Certificate (or token) - digital security certificate integrity, asses its OU, Jurisdiction, and Name, to match the PII Controller Information, registration or noticeand risks presented in notice.

In Part 2,

The record is used to send a digital privacy rights request, which is then made to

operational performance and integrity of the notice, notification and disclosures.

These are used to asses if

  1. consent is valid

  2. how operation it is

  3. how inclusive and authentic

  4. how secure the transparency and consent is

Operational Transparency Assessment

The following describes an assessment using the TPIs to measure Operational Transparency and assurance.

...

  1. Transparency is required to be available in context, i.e., during the time when PII is obtained (found in Transparency Statement or Privacy Policy).8

    1. Time period data stored.

    2. Existence of rights/controls to access and rectify.

    3. Existence of right to manage consent.

    4. Existence of right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority (DPA).

    5. Whether processing is based under a statutory, or contractual context, or whether necessary for entering a contract, if the PII is obliged, and the consequences of failure to provide this data.9

    6. Existence of

      1. AI, or any automated decision-making technology

      2. Digital identity management surveillance technologies

      3. Any profiles, or graphs generated

      4. Meaningful information about the logic involved

        1. Significance in overall policy or processing and decision making

        2. Expected consequences for and to PII Principal - Data Subject

TPI Assessment Guidance

The TPI Rating system is designed to measure the operational performance of the information, for example if only a mailing address is provided for a privacy contact on a website, this is considered non-operable according to the context. This means that privacy access and specific information is not retrievable in the context of data collection. The TPIs measure adequacy and demonstrate non-performance by PII Controllers as a form of data co-governance.

The associated Conformity Assessment: uses the open ISO/IEC 29100 security framework for generating interoperable records and receipts of data processing activity, according to transparency in context.

TPIs are captured in sequence

a. TPI 1 measuring the point when the individual is notified versus when personal information/digital identifiers are collected and processed. The scheme starts by capturing the timing of notice presentation in relation to first data capture, and first contact.10

...

Combined, these TPIs provide an overall Indication of the operational state of digital privacy.

TPI – Scheme 1, Part 1(S1-P1) metric logic

Rating - Instruction

TPI 1 Timing (with regards to processing)

TPI 2 Required Information

TPI 3 Accessibility

TPI 4 - Digital Security

+1 (assured)

PII Controller credential is displayed, using a standard format with machine readable language, and linked, for example, in an http header in a browser

The Controller is discoverable prior to session (out of band) in a machine-readable format:

1.Controller Registry

2.A client-side record of processing (via a wallet or browser)

Controller identity is presented prior to data collection

Security is required prior to collection (digital wallet based)

 

0 (dynamic assurance)

PII Controller Identity or credential is provided in first notice

Credential is presented just in time (automated check and first-time notice)

Embedded as a credential and dynamically available upon access (almost just in time)

Assurance provided– e.g., certificate is specific to and matches controller and context.

-1 (analogue assurance - online)

The Controller Identity, or screen with the Controller Identity is one screen and click away. For example, the privacy policy link in the footer of a webpage

Controller information is accessible (not presented) during collection

PII Controller Identity prominently displayed on first view – prior to processing first page of viewing

Not-specific to controller - does not match jurisdiction.

-2 - (not mandatory in flow)

 

Controller Credential information is linked during collection

is linked not presented

Does not match OU

-3 (non-operative)

PII Controller Identity is not accessible enough to be considered ‘provided’

Controller information not present

Identity or credential is not accessible in context - e.g., two or more screens of view away, or privacy contact is mailing g address and non-operative in context of data collection.

It is not a valid, secure, or recognized provider.
Not security operational (proving nonreciprocal security assurance)
