The target audience for this book is engineers, and this book will also be helpful to leaders in management, media and government as well. However, it is critical that all readers are able to place privacy and data protection in context. They need to understand how software engineering has changed in practice, and the corresponding change in business risk. This will help them avoid mistakes that prove to be hard to undo.
Chapter 1 will serve as an advisor on data flow so that technical leaders can understand how their architecture and data work in conjunction. We will also look at the regulatory risks and dive deep into emerging privacy tech players. This context will help the reader approach their privacy challenges with a clear-eyed and informed lens.
Chapter 2 will explore how various business stakeholders have varying interests in data processing. We will also examine high-profile privacy incidents, thereby giving the reader a sense of the vulnerabilities they need to watch for. Finally, there is context on how to monitor investments and build a program that can scale in line with the business.
