Data minimization Incident Response: Basics
RCCE students will learn data minimization strategies including data inventory and mapping, retention policy development, data deletion procedures, and reducing unnecessary data collection. RCCE students will learn to conduct data inventory and classification exercises, map data flows across systems and third parties, develop and implement data retention schedules aligned with legal and business requirements, design systems that collect only necessary data, implement automated data deletion and anonymization processes, measure data minimization effectiveness, and reduce organizational risk exposure by systematically eliminating unnecessary data stores. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
