PII handling Incident Handling
RCCE students will learn personally identifiable information handling procedures including PII identification and classification, access controls for PII, PII processing safeguards, cross-border transfer requirements, and PII breach response. RCCE students will learn to identify and classify PII across organizational systems, implement technical and administrative controls for PII protection, configure data access controls and monitoring for PII repositories, establish secure PII processing procedures, comply with cross-border data transfer regulations, detect and respond to PII exposure incidents, and train organizational staff on proper PII handling procedures. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Building on core knowledge, 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.
