#### **Privacy Resources for Small Businesses**:

A small business owner may be interested in protecting customers’ privacy but not know where to look for help getting started. The NIST Privacy Framework’s Learning Center has several resources that can help you get started.  A few are featured below:
                  - Privacy Framework Quick Start Guide -  NIST developed this quick start guide to help any organization get a risk-based privacy program off the ground or improve an existing one.  NIST
                  - Blog:  Data Analytics for Small Businesses: How to Manage Privacy Risks  NIST
                  - Videos:                      - Building Trust with the NIST Privacy Framework - Take a journey through Our Corp’s animated world to learn how Privacy Framework adoption can build trust in products, services, and much more.  NIST

                    - The NIST Privacy Framework - YouTube  NIST
                  - Hypothetical Use Cases:  NIST has developed these hypothetical use cases to provide examples of how an organization might develop its Profiles using the Ready, Set, Go model in Section 3.3 of the Privacy Framework                      - Hypothetical Use Case #1: Compliance-oriented Large Organization
                    - Hypothetical Use Case #2: Small Business without an Established Privacy Program
                  - Resource Repository: This repository contains resources to support organizations’ use of the Privacy Framework. Resources include crosswalks, common Profiles, guidelines, and tools.
