Global Cloud Services: Data Privacy by Design (PbD) Projects

A US Silicon Valley global data management company needed to upgrade and prioritise data Privacy by Design (PbD) within its internal engineering and external customer supply chains, products and services. It had a range of internal and external customer systems, databases and applications that had uncertain, old or poorly evidenced Privacy by Design histories. The business set a series of short timescales to introduce new broad-based risk assessments, new risk prioritisation matrix, new technology tools, new policies, procedures and a plan for roll-out and adoption. The company looked for global best practice that synthesized General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standards and rules from California, USA (Federal), China, the European Union and Asia Pacific. The company also wanted to ensure that data Privacy by Design remained imbedded in its new organisational culture and practices and could flexibly adapt to future regulations, best practice and technology innovation.
