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 system is used as a decision support mechanism for either issuing or refusing a passport to an individual. A preliminary threat and risk assessment on the system was completed in November 2008. A number of high–level threats, common to both Passport Canada and the System, were identified. The Privacy Impact Assessment analyzes threats with respect to the protection of personal information contained in the system application.
