| Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP) is a comprehensive privacy framework that is designed to assist management in creating an effective privacy program that addresses privacy risks and business opportunities. It was developed under a joint effort of the CICA and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) through the AICPA/CICA Privacy Task Force. Formerly known as the AICPA/CICA Privacy Framework, it is founded on a single privacy principle that is supported by 10 principles and over 60 objective and measurable criteria. Click here for a description of GAPP’s overall privacy objective and its 10 principles. GAPP can be used by organizations to perform a thorough review of their privacy practices, such as: - Privacy policy design and implementation
- Performance Measurement
- Benchmarking
- Monitoring and auditing privacy programs

December 06, 2007 (Computerworld) -- If you haven't heard of the Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP), take stock: They're likely to become the most important new source of requirements for your IT projects since Y2k and Sarbanes-Oxley. Why is this? The accounting industry has closed ranks around the idea that the GAPP is the best international framework for assessing the privacy health of an organization. So when it comes to IT projects, any system or related business process touching personal data will have new rules to play by.
What is the GAPP? I have to agree with the auditors on this one. It's the best attempt so far to address the main point of pain for global chief privacy officers: the growing complexity of privacy regulations around the world.
