- Operational Requirements: It should address both high-level goals and specific operational needs to meet privacy regulations.
- Roadmap: A clear timeline with activities and milestones for achieving and maintaining compliance.
- Resource Allocation: The necessary resources, including personnel and budget, must be assigned to support the plan.
