What is ISO/IEC 20547-4 about?

ISO/IEC 20547 is an international standard on information technology that aims to improve security and privacy operations with regards to big data reference architecture (BRDA).

ISO/IEC 20547 discusses a standardized approach for developing and implementing big data architectures and provides references for approaches. ISO/IEC 20547-4 specifies improved security and privacy aspects to enhance the BDRA.

ISO/IEC 20547-4 is the fourth part of international standard a multi-series on the security and privacy aspects applicable to the BDRA including the big data roles, activities, and functional components.

ISO/IEC 20547-4 assists guidance on security and privacy operations for big data.

Who is ISO/IEC 20547-4 for?

ISO/IEC 20547-4 on security and privacy is useful for:

• Big data application providers
• Big data framework providers
• Big data service partners
• Government departments
• Architects
• Agencies

Why should you use ISO/IEC 20547-4?

Demand for a common baseline of security and privacy aspects for big data architectures is to facilitate interoperability in big data systems without compromising privacy, confidentiality, or integrity has increased worldwide.

Big data refers to the massive amount of digital information collected in various forms from different sources of digital and physical environments. It is generated by traditional means of information exchange and from sensors embedded in physical environments such as city surroundings, transportation vehicles, critical infrastructures, etc.

ISO/IEC 20547-4 assists in improvising security and privacy operations for big data without compromising integrity and confidentiality.

ISO/IEC 20547-4 protects data in a big data context by providing various security and privacy aspects.

Effective standardization of security and privacy is paramount to the development of mutual trust and cooperation amongst big data stakeholders.
