Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Automated marking identifies private personal information in outputs, tangibly reducing the ability to exploit weaknesses that result in its unauthorized exposure.
Privacy-specific attributes and their controlled association directly reduce exposure of private personal information through missing or incorrect labeling.
Preventing nonpublic personal information from public posting reduces unauthorized exposure of private personal data.
The control detects and protects against mining of private personal information, reducing unauthorized exposure of PII.
Per-request decision making makes it harder to bypass authorization using user-controlled keys without proper validation in the decision process.
Consistent enforcement of approved authorizations makes bypassing via user-controlled keys ineffective.
Privacy literacy training directly targets preventing exposure of personal information through user mishandling.
Tracking locations of sensitive data and access users reduces risk of private personal information exposure.
