Episode 15 — Perform privacy-focused assessments like PIAs with practical scope and outputs (Domain 2A-2 Privacy-Focused Assessment)

This episode focuses on privacy-focused assessments, including PIA-style approaches, as practical tools that produce actionable outputs rather than paperwork. You’ll learn how to scope an assessment based on data types, processing purposes, populations impacted, and system boundaries, and how to identify where a shallow scope creates blind spots that later become findings. We’ll define what strong outputs look like: clear dataflows, risk statements that describe harm and likelihood, prioritized controls, and documented decisions that connect requirements to implementation. You’ll work through scenarios like new analytics, identity verification services, or AI-assisted support tools, practicing how to ask the right questions, gather evidence, and recommend control changes that are realistic for engineering teams.
