11 Describe the purpose of the system.

Chronic diseases can be prevented by eating well, being
physically active, avoiding tobacco and excessive drinking, and
also getting regular health screenings. CDC’s National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP) Platform provides a hosting environment for
access to data that helps people and communities prevent
chronic diseases and promotes health and wellness for all.
The NCCDPHP Platform supports:
1) public use data and information;
2) tools for program assessments and data analysis;
3) data visualizations; and
4) administrative tools.
The categories of data on the NCCDPHP Platform (NCCD
Platform) include data and information dissemination, data
collection, administrative, data analysis tools, program
assessment, and data visualization supporting chronic disease
prevention and health promotion.

The types of information contained in the Platform include:
--analyzed datasets
Describe the type of information the system will
--surveillance data
collect, maintain (store), or share. (Subsequent
--promotional materials
12
questions will identify if this information is PII and ask --tool and resources
about the specific data elements.)
--demographics
--health indicators
--contact information
--user credentials (user id, password)
--email address
--resource code
Active Directory (AD) is used for access control/authentication
of CDC users. AD is covered by a separate PIA.

NCCDPHP Platform provides a hosting environment for
applications that support the mission of the National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP). The data maintained in the NCCD Platform
supports the planning, implementation, and evaluation of
state and national chronic disease prevention and health
promotion initiatives.

Provide an overview of the system and describe the
13 information it will collect, maintain (store), or share,
either permanently or temporarily.

Data maintained on NCCDPHP Platform includes:
--health related risk data (i.e., tobacco or alcohol use, emerging
health topics)
--public use data sets, statistics, and information
--surveillance, prevalence, and trend data
--print or digital materials, advertisements, public service
announcements, media promotions
--chronic disease related training material and curriculum
--contact information for chronic disease related programs
--scientific citations of CDC publications
--resources to support chronic disease prevention and health
promotion (webinars, model policies, fact sheets, guides,
training materials, pamphlets, brochures); public health project
descriptions and evaluations
--surveillance data
--success stories of positive public health interventions
--chronic disease related training material and curriculum
--responses to program assessment questionnaires
--business contact information (organization name, point of
contact name, email, and telephone numbers)
--demographics of an organization or program (race/ethnic
group, age, gender, education level, size and location of
organization)
Active Directory (AD) is used for access control/authentication
of CDC users. AD is covered by a separate PIA.

24 Is the PII shared with other organizations?
Describe the process in place to notify individuals
25 that their personal information will be collected. If
no prior notice is given, explain the reason.
26

Is the submission of PII by individuals voluntary or
mandatory?

There is no process in place because PII is not directly solicited
from individuals. In all cases, the PII has been provided directly
by an individual to establish a user account, when a user
requests information, or when provided by a CDC partner.

Describe the process in place to resolve an
individual's concerns when they believe their PII has
29 been inappropriately obtained, used, or disclosed, or
that the PII is inaccurate. If no process exists, explain
why not.
Describe the process in place for periodic reviews of
PII contained in the system to ensure the data's
30
integrity, availability, accuracy and relevancy. If no
processes are in place, explain why not.

Users can contact CDC directly to resolve any concerns. Each
website includes an email address for such contact. The email
would be routed to the appropriate program within NCCDPHP
to address the concerns.
Since the PII is provided by an individual, no processes are in
place to review the PII for integrity, availability, or accuracy. All
user accounts are reviewed annually for relevancy.
Users

external user: account management;
internal user (CDC): clarification from
external users for data submissions

Administrators
31

Identify who will have access to the PII in the system
and the reason why they require access.

Developers

internal users: for development and
troubleshooting; data updates;

Users:
--Internal Users (CDC): CDC project staff or managers authorize
access that is limited to a need-to-know, role-dependent basis
Describe the procedures in place to determine which for staff assigned to a particular project or program.
--External Users: access their own individual information
32 system users (administrators, developers,
contractors, etc.) may access PII.
Developers: The program manager is responsible for ensuring
that personnel have controlled access only to what is relevant
to their specific work on the project. Developers are assigned
roles and responsibilities based on their role in a project.
Describe the methods in place to allow those with
33 access to PII to only access the minimum amount of
information necessary to perform their job.

End user access to PII is granted based on role and function in
the workflows, and is granted at the lowest level needed to
perform a user's designated role in the workflow.

Identify training and awareness provided to
personnel (system owners, managers, operators,
contractors and/or program managers) using the

Describe the process and guidelines in place with
37 regard to the retention and destruction of PII. Cite
specific records retention schedules.

User accounts and associated PII are removed when no longer
needed for access. The PII and user accounts are temporary
administrative records and not subject to long term records
retention.
CDC Records Control Schedule 01-01-01d Office
Administrative Files
User accounts are reviewed annually.
Administrative Controls:
Role-based, least privilege, account review, security plan,
contingency plan, and training.

Describe, briefly but with specificity, how the PII will
38 be secured in the system using administrative,
technical, and physical controls.

Technical Controls:
Data is encrypted in transit. Data files are backed up. PII data is
publically available and does not require additional controls.
Physical Controls:
Physical controls include ID Badges, Key Cards, and Closed
Circuit TV (CCTV). The Platform is in a data center protected by
guards, gates, and surveillance at the entry point to the facility.
Access to the data center is limited to authorized personnel
