When people discuss Zero Trust, they often focus on how it can help protect data across an organization. However, they tend to forget how it can also help achieve compliant data privacy. Zero Trust thinking results in better management of identities that access sensitive data. It encourages access management at an application level, allowing for more granular controls. It also helps organizations adapt quickly to changing business scenarios in a rapidly shifting compliance landscape.

This publication provides guidance on how to use Zero Trust in privacy implementation. It highlights the core principles of privacy and how they can align with a Zero Trust architecture, touching on privacy impact assessments (PIAs) as well. 

As the world increasingly digitizes, these recommendations become all the more critical. They aren't just about protecting privacy. They're also about securing the data of people working in sensitive and critical jobs. Zero Trust ensures that organizations identify, locate, process, and dispose of such data with the right level of security.
