Information Privacy & Security Council

The Information Privacy and Security Council advises state agencies on policies and standards for protecting personal information and government data systems in Hawaii. It develops recommendations for data security practices, privacy policies, and responses to data breaches involving state government records. The council coordinates across state departments to ensure consistent and effective privacy and security standards.

State agencies hold vast amounts of personal information about Hawaii residents, and the policies this council establishes determine how well that information is protected. Residents who have concerns about how state agencies handle their personal data have an interest in the council's work.
