What you’ll learn:

  • The foundational privacy principles in technology
  • Applying privacy by design principles, across the information life cycle and within products and services
  • How to recognise privacy threats and violations and understand associated privacy risks
  • How to apply privacy enhancing technologies and strategies within an organisation
  • The role of privacy engineering in an organisation be that identifying privacy objectives and privacy risks and applying privacy design patterns
  • The technological privacy challenges associated with for example, automated decision making, impacts of tracking and surveillance, ubiquitous computing and mobile social computing.

The CIPT course is broken down in to 7 modules and covers the following topics:

Module 1: Foundation principles

  • Privacy risk models and frameworks – e.g., Nissenbaum’s contextual integrity, Calo’s Harms dimensions, legal compliance, FIPPs, NIST/NICE, FAIR.
  • Privacy by Design foundation principles – Full life-cycle protection, embedded into design, full functionality, visibility & transparency, proactive not reactive, privacy by default, respect for users.
  • Value Sensitive Design – How design affects users, strategies for skilful practice.
  • The Information Life cycle – Collection, use, disclosure, retention and Disposal.

Module 2: The role of IT in privacy

  • Fundamentals of privacy related IT – Privacy notices, privacy policies, security policies, common IT frameworks, data inventories, enterprise architecture and data flows, including cross-border transfers, privacy impact assessments (PIAs).
  • Information security – Security requirements and the law, Incident response, security & privacy in a system lifecycle (SDLC) process, privacy and security regulations.
  • Information Governance basic principles.
  • The privacy role of the IT professional – policy, regulatory and contractual feedback.

Module 3: Privacy threats and violations

  • During data collection – Asking people to reveal personal information, surveillance.
  • During use – Insecurity, identification, aggregation, secondary use, exclusion.

  • Intrusion, decisional interference and self-representation – Behavioural advertising, cyber bullying, social engineering.
  • Software security – Vulnerability management, intrusion reports, patches, upgrades, open-source v closed source.

Module 4: Technical measures & privacy enhancing technologies

  • Data oriented strategies – Separate, minimise, abstract, hide.
  • Techniques – Aggregation, de-identification, encryption, identity and access management, authentication.
  • Process oriented strategies – Informing the individual, user control, policy and process enforcement, demonstrate compliance.

Module 5: Privacy engineering

  • Privacy design patterns – Design patterns to emulate, dark patterns to avoid.
  • Privacy risks in software – Risks and countermeasures.

Module 6: Privacy by Design methodology

  • The privacy by design process – Goal setting, documenting requirements, understanding quality attributes, identify information needs, high-level design, low-level design and implementation, impose controls, testing and validation.
  • Ongoing vigilance – Code reviews and audits, runtime behavioural monitoring, software evolution.

Module 7: Technology challenges for privacy

  • Automated decision making – Machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence (AI), context aware computing.
  • Tracking and surveillance – Internet monitoring, web & location tracking, audio & video surveillance, drones.
  • Anthropomorphism – speech recognition, natural language understanding / generation, chat bots, robots.
  • Ubiquitous computing – IOT, vehicular automation, wearable devices.
  • Mobile social computing – Geo-tagging, geo-social patterns.
