Privacy by design Hardening Clinic
RCCE students will learn privacy-by-design methodology including data protection impact assessments, privacy architecture patterns, data minimization techniques, consent management, and privacy-enhancing technologies. RCCE students will learn to embed privacy requirements into system design from the earliest stages, conduct data protection impact assessments for new projects and systems, implement data minimization and purpose limitation principles, design consent collection and management workflows, apply privacy-enhancing technologies including anonymization, pseudonymization, and differential privacy, comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations, and build privacy review processes into development lifecycles. This hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
