Enterprise Services • ES-06
Privacy by Design
Put privacy requirements into the build, where they cost least to satisfy.
Scope
What the engagement covers.
Privacy failures are usually architecture failures discovered late. This service inserts requirements, assessments and evidence into the delivery lifecycle so products ship compliant rather than being retrofitted.
Included capabilities
- Privacy requirements catalogue mapped to delivery stage gates
- DPIA and legitimate-interest assessment integrated into project intake
- Data minimization, pseudonymization and anonymization design patterns
- Privacy for AI: training data, memorization, profiling and automated decisions
- Default-setting review, consent UX and transparency artefacts
Outputs and deliverables
- Privacy requirements catalogue by delivery stage
- DPIA and LIA templates with worked examples
- Reference design patterns for minimization and pseudonymization
- Pre-release privacy verification checklist
Workflow
How it is delivered, step by step.
Each step has an owner, an entry condition and an artefact that has to exist before the next step begins.
01IntakeScreening questions that route a project to the right assessment depth.
02AssessDPIA or LIA with risk, mitigation and residual position recorded.
03DesignArchitecture patterns for minimization, separation and retention.
04VerifyPre-release review against the agreed privacy requirements.
05EvidenceArtefacts retained and linked to the processing register.
Use cases
Where this is typically applied.
An AI feature that processes personal data for training or inference
Replatforming that changes where personal data physically resides
Delivery model
The operating pattern for Enterprise Services.
The same delivery discipline applies across every capability in this line, so combined engagements stay coherent.
Assess
Current state, obligations, control coverage, gaps and material risks.
Design
Target architecture, control library, policy set, roles and evidence model.
Implement
Build controls into platforms, workflows and delivery pipelines.
Operate
Run the function, or coach the client team while they run it.
Assure
Independent testing, reporting to committee and continuous improvement.
Integration
- Existing GRC, ticketing and ITSM platforms for issue and action flow.
- SIEM, EDR and cloud posture tooling for control evidence.
- HR and identity systems for role, joiner-mover-leaver and access review data.
- Board and committee reporting cycles, so output lands in existing governance.
Engagement approach
Engagements start with a fixed-scope assessment so the client sees findings before committing to a build. Implementation runs in quarterly increments against an agreed roadmap, and any managed element carries a named lead, defined SLA and quarterly service review.
