Practical Data minimization Workshop: Bootcamp Unit
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 practice-intensive course emphasizes applied skills through lab exercises, real-world scenarios, and production-realistic workflows. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn by doing, building muscle memory and practical confidence through repeated hands-on engagement. Students complete exercises that mirror actual workplace tasks, ensuring skills transfer directly to their professional roles.
