2007 Privacy Innovation
Award
2007 marks the fifth consecutive year that the IAPP has recognized organizations that have made strong and unique contributions to the privacy field. This year’s winners were honored on October 24th at the IAPP Privacy Academy 2007 in San Francisco.
The 2007 winner of the Large Organization Innovation category (organizations of 5,000 or more employees) is Eli Lilly & Company for their implementation of cutting-edge tools for internal audit, vendor qualification and privacy training.
The 2007 winner of the Small Organization Innovation category (organizations of fewer than 5,000 employees) is the California Office of Privacy Protection, for their consumer protection and business outreach efforts as the first U.S. state agency dedicated to consumer privacy.
The 2007 winner of the Technology Innovation category is Novell, Inc. for their “DigitalME” system, an open-source, cross-platform identity card selector that allows end users, not Web sites, control how sensitive information is presented.
The IAPP congratulates these winners and thanks our judging panel and all of our nominees for helping to support such innovation in the privacy field in 2007.
