Develop guidelines for information sharing and safeguarding agreements to address common requirements while allowing flexibility to meet mission needs.

Steward

Data Aggregation Working Group (DA WG) of the Information Integration Subcommittee (II SC), partnering with the Privacy and Information Technology Working Group (PIT WG) under the Privacy and Civil Liberties Subcommittee (PCL SC) of the ISA IPC

Problem Statement

Federal, state, local, tribal and international partners lack standardized guidelines to address common requirements for information sharing and safeguarding agreements.

Desired Outcome

Create and provide standard information sharing agreement baseline guidelines, processes, and examples to shorten the time required to adopt agreements and enable compliance with legal and policy requirements.

Approach

The DA WG and the PIT WG will develop guidelines for information sharing and safeguarding agreements to address common requirements, including privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties, while allowing flexibility to meet mission needs. Once developed, agreement guidelines will be tested for ISE community use.[1]
