Episode 14 — Build a privacy risk management process that stays consistent and repeatable (Domain 2A-1 Risk Management Process and Policies)

This episode shows how to build a privacy risk management process that is consistent across teams, repeatable across projects, and measurable over time, which is exactly the kind of operational maturity CDPSE questions look for. You’ll define privacy risk in terms of likelihood, impact, and harm pathways, then learn how policies, standards, and decision criteria keep risk scoring from turning into opinion. We’ll connect risk management to intake and change processes so new products, new data uses, and vendor changes automatically trigger assessment and control review instead of relying on tribal knowledge. You’ll also explore how to document risk acceptance and exceptions with clear ownership and time bounds, and how to use metrics and reviews to detect when risk is increasing even if no incident has occurred.
