Current Narrative:

PRIVACY SAFEGUARDS Personally identifiable information at the individual record level is protected by having all staff sign a confidentiality agreement and, when appropriate for non–departmental agencies, release of information forms signed by customers are obtained in order to release UI data to that agency. In terms of outside agencies personally identifiable information is protected by aggregating individual records and standardized confidentiality screening. MWLDS’ public facing results are aggregated to protect the confidentiality of participants being measured. In addition, outcomes with fewer than 10 participants are suppressed for confidentiality purposes. Additionally, the Center for Workforce Research and Information is implementing additional privacy protections by adopting a System Security Plan based on FIPS 199/NIST 800–60 Vol2, Rev1 guidelines.
