A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is an analysis of how personally identifiable information (PII) is handled in DOD information systems or electronic collections. The PIA examines and evaluates protections for handling information to mitigate potential privacy risks. A PIA also analyzes and describes the following information about a system:
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) PIA program coordinates the PIA process within DHA, in compliance with the E-Government (E-Gov) Act of 2002, Section 208, OMB M-03-22, and DODI 5400.16.
The DHA PIA team assists information system owners and developers who collect, maintain and/or disseminate PII in demonstrating the incorporation of required protections throughout the entire life cycle of a system.
In accordance with DODI 5400.16, DHA is required to publish section 1 of DD Form 2930 (DOD PIA template). The following systems have a completed and approved DD Form 2930 on file with the DHA Privacy and Civil Liberties Office (PCLO). For more information regarding PIAs, please contact the PCLO PIA office via email at dha.pia@health.mil.
The term “PII” is defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in OMB Circular A-130, Managing Information as a Strategic Resource (July 2016) as: Information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.
