Foreign Service Directives (FSD) Portal - Privacy Impact Assessment: Global Affairs Canada

The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. The departmental Foreign Service Directives (FSD) Services and Policy Bureau has initiated the FSD Portal Project to automate the management of FSDs through the delivery of modified business processes and a new application solution. The FSD Portal is an application that will be used to manage Mission Clients (Employees) outside of Canada and their FSDs. The FSD Portal will receive data from the Human Resources Management System (tombstone information) for all DFAIT clients. Other Government Department (OGD) client information will be captured manually within the FSD Portal web application. This application will be linked to LiveCycle, which processes the Travel forms (FSD 50.01, 50.02 &70). The FSD Portal will also feed the departmental Integrated Management System with the information necessary to assure that the clients get paid in a timely fashion.
