Further Privacy Impact Assessment

(Initial PIA Recommendations 11 & 17)

66. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) will be much more closely involved in the Initial Implementation than it has been in earlier stages. However, the resources to be provided to OPC to undertake this work will not cover the detailed impact assessment required at key points in the Initial Implementation and beyond. This has been accepted and included in Component 4. It is however important to recognise that further PIA work may be required in relation to all of the other Components, including work to be undertaken by DIA in Component 2.

67. Specific PIA work has already been identified as desirable in relation to the proposed October 2004 report back on the shared key pilot (Component 5), and the proposed report back on EOI and Credential scoping work by March 2005 (Component 2).
