“The patterns are simple, but followed together, they make for a whole that is wiser than the sum of its parts. - Steven Johnson, Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation

A Privacy Engineering Lifecycle Methodology

This chapter discusses a systems engineering methodology that can be adapted to privacy engineering. The methodology presented should be followed throughout development of a project for a privacy solution. It involves interactive models that provide pictorial documentation as well as business language use cases that together present requirements, analysis, design, and test cases in a readable form. The models work together to provide an understandable information and application architecture that satisfies business requirements, including, of course, privacy and security.

The Privacy Component App

This chapter describes a primary tool in the privacy engineer’s toolkit, the privacy component, originally introduced in Chapter 5. The privacy component is a self-contained, reusable software building block module developed to satisfy the privacy requirements derived from the use case discussed below. It is recommended that this component be developed as a module that can be used standalone or plugged into another enterprise program or mobile app, as will be discussed later in this book.

A Vision of the Future: The Privacy Engineer’s Manifesto

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.

Developing Privacy Engineering Requirements

The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

Organizational Design and Alignment

My model for business is the Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other’s kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other, and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That’s how I see business: Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.

Value and Metrics for Data Assets

It is the mark of an educated mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits and not to seek exactness where only an approximation is possible

Data and Privacy Governance Concepts

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.
