Data Confidentiality and Protection

Statistical Policy Directive 2 focuses on the confidentiality and protection of data collected by federal agencies.

It sets standards for handling personal and sensitive information, ensuring that statistical data cannot be used to identify individuals.

SPD-2 promotes secure data storage, controlled access, and strict privacy protocols. Agencies implementing the directive must train staff in confidentiality procedures and conduct regular audits to prevent breaches.

“SPD-2 protects respondents while enabling valuable statistical research,” said data policy consultant Rachel Greene. This balance is essential for maintaining public trust in government surveys and programs.
