Privacy Act Information Assurance

• Purpose 
  This training will help all AF civilian and military employees, to include contractors, understand the procedures for the proper handling and storage of personal information included under: 
  - 5 U.S.C. 552a (The Privacy Act of 1974) 
  - AFI 33-332 (Air Force Privacy And Civil Liberties Program) 

• What is PII? 
  - Per AFI 33-332 , the term PII refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace and individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. 
  - Types of PII (Not an all inclusive list) 
  Name, SSN, DOB,  Passport number,  Driver's license number, Patient identification number, Financial account or credit care number, Personal address, Biometric records, Citizenship or immigration status, Ethnic or religious affiliation, Sexual orientation, Criminal history, Medical information, System authentication information (mother's maiden name, account passwords, or personal ID numbers), etc. 

• Why safeguarding PII is critical 
  The following list identifies why safeguarding personal information is critical: 
  - It’s the LAW! (Willfully and knowingly violating the Privacy Act is punishable by UCMJ Article 92 and DAFI 36-148) 
  - Respecting our employees’ and customers’ privacy is a cornerstone of our business and a core value. 
  - Protecting our employees’ and customers’ personal information is essential when doing business. 
  - Bond of trust and keeping it strong must be an ongoing effort. 

• Employee Safeguards 
  Safeguards must: 
  - Be Administrative (training). 
  - Be Technical (encryption or password). 
  - Be Physical (locked cabinets/cover sheets). 
  - Be based on the storage media (paper, electronic, CD, etc..) used. 
  - Ensure the security and confidentiality of records. 
  - Protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of records. 
  - Prevent compromise or misuse during storage, transfer, or use, including working at authorized alternative worksites. 

• How to keep personal information secure 

• What To Do: 
  - Challenge ANYONE who asks to see personal information in your possession. “Need to Know” 
  - Mark privacy records appropriately: “FOUO: Privacy Act.” 
  - Collect the minimum amount of personal information necessary for the proper performance of a documented agency function. 
  - REDUCE the amount of SSN use (Collections/storage/transmission etc.) 
  - REMOVE: PII (specifically SSN) from all data exports (OBIE/DISCOVERER reports, CMS extracts, etc.…) unless deemed mission essential  
  - DoDID is the approved acceptable replacement for the SSN 

• What Not To Do: 
  - Distribute or release personal information without authorization or a need to know. 
  - Send emails that contain PII unencrypted (especially .mil to personal account vice versa) 
  - Use interoffice or translucent envelopes to mail paperwork with PII. 
  - Place personal information on local drives, shared drives, e-mail folders, SharePoint etc.. unless it is password protected and has Data at Rest Encryption. 
  - Collect personal information without proper authorization (System of Record Notice, Privacy Impact Assessment, etc.) 

• Recent PII Breach 
  Access to PII must be on an official need to know basis 

Most Common 
- Unencrypted email sent to commercial account (Breach) 
- Email sent to personnel without official need to know (Breach) 
- Unprotected files with med/high impact PII in SharePoint (Breach) 
- Unprotected files with med/high impact PII in file shares (ERM and Org shared drive) (Breach) 

• Why are breaches ocurring? 
  - Some org boxes are unable to receive encrypted emails 
  - Users get a notice and are unable to send encrypted emails 
  - Users are accidentally forgetting to click Sensitivity Labels button on emails when sending PII 
  - Users are sending orders (full names and SSNs) to their personal email
