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. A Preliminary Privacy Impact Assessment (PPIA) was developed for the Passport Office’s new Mission Passport Print Solution Project. The PPIA was developed as part of the project’s Effective Project Approval submission to Treasury Board Secretariat. The Mission Passport Print Solution Project strengthened the security of the passport production line by centralizing passport printing in Canada, which was done abroad at diplomatic missions and consular posts. It also improved the quality of passports which were originally issued at diplomatic missions and consular posts by providing digitized photo Machine Readable passports that meet the same high–quality standard as the Machine Readable passports issued domestically.
