Article Summaries:
- NIST marked Data Privacy Week by highlighting its Privacy Engineering Program’s recent progress and 2026 plans. The agency will continue to collaborate with stakeholders to refine privacy risk‑management guidelines and release the finalized Privacy Framework Version 1.1, which aligns with NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Supplemental guidance is slated for launch, including a differential privacy deployment registry following the 2025 NIST 800‑226 guidelines. The program also advances a Data Governance and Management profile that integrates the Privacy and Cybersecurity Frameworks, with a virtual workshop scheduled for later in 2026. Updates and resources are available on the NIST Privacy Engineering and Privacy Framework websites.
