IEEE Std 7005:2021 pdf download.IEEE Standard for Transparent Employer Data Governance.
IEEE Std 7005 defines specific methodologies to help employers in accessing, collecting, storing, utilizing, sharing, and destroying employee data. The standard provides specific metrics and conformance criteria regarding these types of uses from trusted global partners and how third parties and employers can meet them. Certification processes, success criteria, and execution procedures are not within the scope of this standard.
1.2 Purpose
This standard is designed to provide organizations with a set of clear requirements and guidelines for storing, protecting, and utilizing employee data, where, once deployed, will Support ethical and transparent behavior. One important objective addressed in this standard is the need for well-defined processes and documents that can be explained in non-technical terms understood by a data subject. The data subject needs to understand the underlying issues of personal data collection, the processing of personal data, storage of personal data, and how the personal data is shared and used. Each issue is addressed in terms of the means used to protect the data subject’s personal data and the data subject’s options if the personal data is compromised. Inspired by the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation, the standard is designed so that workers facing widespread automation issues potentially displacing their jobs will have control and influence over the personal information that directly represents a core asset of their identity and lives whether derived from work-flow monitoring or personal data storage.
