Episode 1 — Decode what the CDPSE exam actually tests across real privacy engineering work
This episode explains how CDPSE maps privacy engineering work into four exam domains so you can study with a job-relevant mental model instead of memorizing isolated facts. You’ll learn what “governance,” “privacy risk management,” “data life cycle,” and “privacy by design” mean in exam language, and how questions often blend them in a single scenario such as a new product launch, a vendor integration, or a data sharing request. We’ll translate domain boundaries into practical engineering signals: which artifacts prove intent, which controls reduce exposure, and which decisions create compliance or operational risk. You’ll also hear how to spot distractors that sound legally correct but are not actionable, and how to prioritize answers that show repeatable processes, defensible evidence, and clear accountability.
