Abstract

This chapter examines the motivations and imperatives for modernizing how statistical agencies approach statistical disclosure limitation for official data product releases. It discusses the implications for agencies' broader data governance and decision-making, and it identifies challenges that agencies will likely face along the way. In conclusion, the chapter proposes some principles and best practices that we believe can help guide agencies in navigating the transformation of their confidentiality programs.
