Data Privacy Engineering
The Data Privacy Engineering Working Group (DPE WG) is chartered with the mission to integrate privacy-centric methodologies into development workflows, architecture design, and data science methodologies. Collectively referred to as “DataSecOps”, these elements comprise end-to-end data privacy practices wherein data is definitively scoped, inventoried, classified and secured over a total data lifecycle as an inherent part of a digital work product.  This integration aims to ensure compliance, data protection, and secure data management in cloud environments. The WG will develop guidelines for incorporating privacy engineering into DataSecOps—including Differential Privacy as one such approach, create privacy-centric tools, foster professional collaboration, and promote awareness about privacy engineering, with a special emphasis on the application and implications of Differential Privacy in DataSecOps. The group is led by Chair(s), working in collaboration with CSA leadership, membership-at-large, and the broader community of interest.
