Privacy Compliance Reviews for the Media Monitoring Initiative

Media Monitoring Initiative, December 8, 2017.

Privacy Compliance Reviews (PCR) are a key aspect of the layered privacy protections built into the DHS National Operations Center’s Media Monitoring Initiative to ensure that the protections described in the PIAs are followed.  This is the eighth PCR since the first PIA was published in June 2010.   The DHS Privacy Office conducted this eighth PCR to assess compliance with DHS privacy policy and the Publicly Available Social Media Monitoring and Situational Awareness Initiative PIA and SORN, as well as implementation of recommendations from previous PCRs.  We found that the DHS Office of Operations Coordination, National Operations Center, continues to comply with the privacy requirements identified in privacy compliance documents, and our specific findings are discussed herein.
