Accountability

TOPIC PAGE

Accountability is one of the fair information practice principles. It says that a data controller should be accountable for complying with measures which give effect to the other principles. Accountability does not redefine privacy or replace laws, but shifts the focus of privacy governance to an organization’s ability to demonstrate its capacity to achieve specified privacy objectives.

This topic page offers resources to help you determine what accountability means for your organization.
