Advancement of technologies has created new threat landscapes in the Privacy/Security domains. Therefore, information privacy protections have become a vital element for all computing environments. We can no longer presume that information privacy refers only to the confidentiality of personal information, but rather it is to include the protection of personal information and safeguarding of the collection, access, use, dissemination, and storage of personal and sensitive information. One approach to ensure privacy preserving environments is to minimize privacy risks. To achieve this goal, we propose the development of a comprehensive set of privacy criteria and controls that can serve as the framework for privacy researchers, practitioners, and auditors as well any organization. We call this framework the Comprehensive Criteria for Privacy Protection (C2P2) and the proposed panel will present and discuss this newly developed framework and provide their perspective.

• What is the Comprehensive Criteria for Privacy Protection (C2P2) framework and which are its related opportunities and challenges?
• How can controls, such as C2P2, be systematically engineered into cloud-based products, services, and enterprise applications?
• Considering technical and legal challenges, how is it possible to design comprehensive privacy risk management strategies by which personal data can be used safely while building users’ trust and mitigating privacy regulatory risks?
• Which are the perspectives on the development of a risk-based certification for Singapore’s data protection standards that addresses APEC cross border privacy rules and privacy recognition for processors systems?
