NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security for DPOs
What does NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security require of a DPO?
NIST's guide to securing enterprise telework, remote access and BYOD: planning assumptions, method choice, server hardening and placement, authentication and traffic protection, client device and data security, and the policy-to-disposal life cycle. Under NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security, which defines 26 controls, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security controls land on the DPO
Data Protection Officers oversee privacy compliance, manage data subject rights requests, conduct privacy impact assessments, and serve as the point of contact with data protection authorities. The role is mandatory under GDPR for many organisations.
NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security defines 26 controls across 4 domains that directly affect the DPO role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
What a DPO is accountable for under NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security
Advising the organisation on data protection obligations and best practices
Managing data subject access requests (DSARs) and privacy complaints
Conducting data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) for new processing activities
Maintaining records of processing activities and data flow maps
Serving as the liaison with data protection supervisory authorities
