Privacy Engineering for Beginners: Zero to Hero

GDPR, CCPA and privacy-by-design, data minimization and anonymization, and privacy impact assessments - a fast-growing field sitting between engineering, legal, and security.

  • Know the basics of GDPR, CCPA, and why they matter to engineering teams

Privacy Engineer and Privacy Engineering Director are real, growing remote roles - driven by regulations like GDPR and CCPA that now carry real financial penalties for companies that mishandle personal data. Privacy engineering sits at the intersection of software engineering, law, and security: building the actual technical systems that keep a company's data practices compliant, not just writing policy documents.

This course covers the real fundamentals: what the major privacy laws actually require, the "privacy by design" principles that guide real engineering decisions, and the practical tools of the job.
