Part III. Oversight: Holding Users and Systems Accountable

The second of our broad capability umbrellas is oversight. Oversight refers to mechanisms that allow appropriately authorized system users to monitor how data is used in order to ensure compliance with whatever legal, ethical, and other imperatives govern data usage. In Chapter 8, we look at how federated systems can enable data sharing while allowing the data controller to maintain oversight of the data. Chapter 9 explores the potential of audit logs to provide detailed insight into data usage as a means of enforcing rigorous privacy policy. In Chapter 10, we discuss the ultimate oversight decision by which data is removed from a system entirely and effectively returned to the sole control of the data subject once again.
