At Data Secure, we help organisations adopt Privacy by Design (PbD) as a core strategy to ensure that data protection is embedded into every stage of a product’s lifecycle, whether right from the initial design phase or later during the product lifecycle.
Our PbD approach is guided by the 7 principles under GDPR Article 25, applied in a practical and business-focused manner:
- Proactive, not Reactive: Identifying and mitigating privacy risks early through tools like DPIAs and Transfer Assessments
- Privacy as the Default: Configuring systems to apply the most protective settings by default, including data minimisation and retention controls
- Embedded into Design: Incorporating privacy safeguards directly into product architecture, not as afterthoughts
- Full Functionality: Achieving business goals while upholding strong privacy protection
- End-to-End Security: Safeguarding data throughout its lifecycle, right from collection to deletion
- Visibility and Transparency: Documenting practices and ensuring clear, accessible communication to stakeholders and users
- User-Centric Approach: Empowering individuals with control over their data through effective rights management processes
