Implementing and Executing Privacy by Design

Legislation such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has popularized the concept of privacy by design, or the notion that privacy be at the forefront during the creation of every process and product in an organization. Yet even enterprises that manage to design effective privacy measures can encounter difficulties when attempting to put their policies into effect. To address how organizations can successfully execute privacy by design, Information Security Matters columnist Steven Ross authored “Privacy by Implementation and Execution,” published in the ISACA® Journal, vol.5, 2020.

Ross expands on his article in the ISACA Podcast episode “The Road to Achieving Privacy by Design,” in which he discusses common challenges of implementing privacy on an organizational level. While many organizations believe that privacy by design is critical to business success and customer relationships, inadequate risk assessment can prevent it from being achieved, a topic Ross explores in the podcast.
