What does M-03-22 Guidance for Implementing the Privacy Provisions of the E-Gov Act of 2002 cover?

• A. Provides PIA guidance and requirements for all Federal agencies
• B. Requires breach notification policies
• C. Sets TIC standards
• D. Defines encryption requirements

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that this guidance centers on privacy in federal IT by requiring careful evaluation of how personal data is collected, used, and shared. It tells agencies to perform Privacy Impact Assessments for information systems or projects that handle personal information, and to document and review privacy risks throughout the system’s life cycle. It also emphasizes ensuring clear privacy notices and appropriate oversight by the CIO as part of the process. Because of this focus, the guidance is best described as providing PIA guidance and requirements for all Federal agencies. Other topics like breach notification policies, Trusted Internet Connections standards, or encryption requirements are covered by different policies and standards, not this memorandum.
