Answer 1

Privacy Policies:

Privacy policies are the most important thing for the organization to run in order to get the organization safe and sound from the attackers. It is very much a necessity to keep the privacy policies aligned so that there are no discrepancies in the data.

• The stakeholders and other system operators must be explained the need for writing privacy policies and how it will add to an advantage to the organization. We must also make them understand the qualitative analytics that comes along with the privacy policies.
• One must also make them understand the importance of customer satisfaction and reliance on the organization which is the most important thing for any organization. This will create a more economical way of getting the customer's trust in the services that are being provided by the organization.
• It will be nice if the privacy policies are written by the higher officials of the organization because they understand the in and out of the organization's policies and they can also relate to what must be included under the privacy policies.
• The people who are engaged in writing the policies must also understand the technical aspects of the organization, so there must be help taken by senior position developers and project managers who understand the technical aspects of the services that are being provided by the organization.
• With the help of collective assurance, there are chances of getting the privacy policies written down with the help of the certainly higher officials which must be maintained and also aligning the certain level of resources for this kind of task is also important.

Hence, I believe that with the help of the above-mentioned methods it is possible to get the privacy policies scripted by the system operators and many other stakeholders of the organizations.
