Title
Managing Privacy & Security Risks Through Architecture Design

Abstract
To a greater degree, organizations are moving towards an integrated architecture approach to IT development. This allows for the leveraging of existing resources and infrastructure while maintaining a standardized development approach.

In a complex and integrated architecture, it is often difficult to understand the points of privacy interaction and sensitivity. We will discuss the use of five discreet 'privacy services' as elemental building blocks to an integrated logical architecture.

This discussion will include not only the use of these services as privacy enhancing and corrective, but also their application as a diagnostic framework for privacy sensitivity.
