Course: Ultimate Privacy by Design Data Protection Course (GDPR, LGPD)
Overview
You need to comply with privacy and data protection laws in your software product and the supporting operations. Getting privacy-by-design wrong is costly, because it creates friction and reduces time-to-market. It also causes technical debt. On top of that, laws around the world increasingly require you to have evidence that you practiced “privacy-by-design” and sanction non-compliance with fines.
This course teaches you how to embed privacy-by-design using sound risk management approaches and structured frameworks. The course goes beyond regulatory summaries by providing practical models such as the 7 Principles of PbD, Solove’s Taxonomy, Hoepman Strategies, and privacy-adapted FAIR analysis. It provides an actionable approach to integrating privacy into feature design, risk analysis, and decision-making.
This course is valuable for core product team members as well as roles supporting privacy from a compliance perspective. This includes:
- Product managers, UX designers, engineers, and members of cross-functional product teams that want to understand their role in relation to privacy-by-design.
- Privacy specialists, legal professionals, compliance/audit specialists, and Data Protection Officers that need to understand how to support privacy-by-design in product teams.
