Accessing data from controller in view

Hello,

In a basic CRUD application I have a user's profile edit page.
When /profiles/edit/4 page is accessed the action in the controller checks if an id is passed, then if I have some data to be saved.
If the id is present but no data, it reads the id related data and then pass it to a view like this:
$this->data = $this->Profile->read(null, $id);

The view is a basic form with lots of echo $form->input('field');

My question is: how can I access the data sent from the controller?

For instance, I want to write a the top of my view: Modifying profile for $data['name']

Do I have to put in my controller: $this->set('profile', $this->Profile->read(null, $id)); ??

Thanks
