Why this module exists. Privacy engineering — designing systems that protect privacy as a property of the architecture, not an afterthought — is the practitioner’s response to DPDP and other privacy regimes. This module covers privacy by design, the techniques that operationalise it, and the architectural patterns that scale.
Why this module exists. “Privacy by design” is a phrase in every privacy framework and a practice in few organisations. The shift from “comply at audit time” to “design for privacy upfront” is what distinguishes mature programmes. This module covers the design patterns.
The seven principles (Cavoukian)
- Proactive not reactive; preventative not remedial.
- Privacy as the default setting.
- Privacy embedded into design.
- Full functionality — positive-sum, not zero-sum.
- End-to-end security — full lifecycle protection.
- Visibility and transparency.
- Respect for user privacy.
The phrasing is dated; the principles still apply.
