About This Course

As privacy regulations become increasingly stringent, organisations are required to ensure that their software solutions not only comply with these regulations but also protect user data and privacy by design. This course equips professionals with the knowledge and skills required to create privacy-focused solutions that meet regulatory requirements and build user trust. Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default concepts, learning to incorporate them into every stage of the software development lifecycle.

What You Will Learn

  • Apply the seven foundational principles of Privacy by Design
  • Translate GDPR Article 25 requirements into engineering decisions
  • Conduct data flow analysis and implement purpose limitation patterns
  • Build consent flows, automate data subject access requests, and enforce retention policies
  • Conduct lightweight Data Protection Impact Assessments within agile workflows

Prerequisites

  • Experience with software development (any language or framework)
  • Basic understanding of GDPR principles
  • No prior privacy engineering experience required
