I would argue that this even needs to transcend the organization and into the supply chain as well. I read one account online where a witness to an auto accident was asked for their SSN as part of the information a traffic officer was taking down into his computer. When questioned about The Privacy Act the officer simply responded, "The computer program requires it." Though the privacy act itself is a discussion much larger than this comment will allow for, that story raises two prime examples of how simplified communication and readiness to the employee (officer) and the vendor (software company) could have put the organization out in front of a potential issue. As we go more mainstream into industries like Health Care, the complexities increase. One situation is domestic healthcare providers who outsource notation services to US based companies with entities in foreign countries. Thanks for posting a simplified article!
