Episode 61 — Evaluate information architecture choices that enable privacy by design outcomes (Task 12)
This episode explains how to evaluate information architecture choices through a privacy engineering lens, because CDPSE scenarios often hide privacy failures inside “reasonable” architecture decisions like centralized lakes, shared identifiers, or broad event streams. You’ll learn how architecture patterns influence data minimization, purpose limitation, retention enforcement, and data subject request fulfillment, and how to spot design choices that create uncontrolled copies, unclear ownership, or irreversible downstream sharing. We’ll work through examples like designing identity graphs, splitting identifiers from content, segmenting sensitive attributes, and choosing where to perform processing so exposure stays contained. You’ll also practice troubleshooting when architecture constraints collide with obligations, such as a legacy platform that cannot delete cleanly or a pipeline that fans data out to many consumers, and you’ll learn to recommend changes that are feasible, measurable, and defensible with evidence.
