Zero-Trust Approach to PII handling: Operator Edition
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 zero-trust course applies modern security principles including least privilege, continuous verification, and explicit trust evaluation. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to implement zero-trust architectures that assume breach and verify every access request regardless of network location. Students build practical zero-trust implementations that align with organizational security modernization goals.
