Frequently Asked Questions

What are Privacy by Design standards and principles?

Privacy by Design is a framework that integrates privacy into the design of systems, processes, and technologies from the outset. It is based on seven core principles, including proactive prevention, privacy as the default setting, and full lifecycle protection.
These principles guide organizations to embed data protection directly into operations, ensuring they meet GDPR requirements, reduce the risk of privacy incidents, and align with oversight from a privacy commissioner or other regulatory bodies.

Is Privacy by Design part of GDPR?

Yes, Privacy by Design is explicitly required under the GDPR. Article 25 of the regulation mandates “data protection by design and by default,” meaning organizations must integrate privacy measures into systems and processes from the start to ensure compliance and protect individuals’ personal data.

When does the course start and finish?

Privacy by Design Principles starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
