On September 4, 2018, the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the start of a collaborative project to develop a voluntary privacy framework to help organizations manage privacy related risk. The envisioned privacy framework will provide an enterprise-level approach to help organizations prioritize strategies for "flexible and effective privacy protection solutions so that individuals can enjoy the benefits of innovative technologies with greater confidence and trust." Parallel with this effort, the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration is developing a domestic legal and policy approach for consumer privacy in coordination with the department's International Trade Administration.
