Although PCI roles are independent and should be filled by different people if feasible, there may be a need (e.g., because of availability or economy) to have one person fill more than one role. Except for the roles of Assessor and Privacy Official, one person may perform more than one role if needed. If an organization has multiple PCIs, one person may be assigned the same role in several or all of them. For instance, a SAO may be responsible for several PCIs within the organization. Similarly, within a single PCI, a PCIF Manager may be responsible for a number of PCI Facilities. Of the roles described, the SAO, DAA, OIMO, CAR, Assessor and PO must be employees of the organization that owns the PCI (e.g., Federal employees in the case of Federal agencies).
