Major legal, Federal, and DoD requirements for protecting PII are presented to include the Privacy Act of 1974, E-Government Act of 2002, and the Federal Information Security Management Act, or FISMA. Federal guidance from the Office of Management and Budget, or OMB, publications is discussed. This training introduces the DoD Privacy Program and reviews PII protection measures mandated by recent Office of the Secretary of Defense memoranda.
