Nanodegree Program
The Privacy Engineer Nanodegree program will prepare you to create technical solutions and implement privacy principles by integrating Privacy-by-Design into product development, data infrastructure, and software release lifecycles. By the end of this program, you will be able to use privacy by design to create solutions that ensure the correct implementation of privacy policies, evaluate privacy compliance risks throughout the data lifecycle, recommend mechanisms to address risks, and execute technical controls that reduce risk and improve data protection.

Welcome to the Privacy Engineer Nanodegree Program, let's get started!
Course 2 • 4 weeks
This course is designed with two types of people in mind: 1) Engineers who hadn't really delved into privacy engineering, and 2) those who have only basic technical skills, but a strong interest in privacy engineering. We learn how the basic principles that privacy engineers follow when evaluating and building software. We'll look at some common legal requirements that privacy engineers must reckon with in many parts of the world and how to implement those requirements for your application or platform. As we go over privacy engineering for compliance, we'll learn that an essential step is to first identify, then track or catalog sensitive data within our system. And finally, we will learn how to manage and protect data using data minimization.
Course 3 • 4 weeks
Privacy engineering isn’t all technical—it requires a culture of privacy to be built into organizations. This course outlines the fundamentals of privacy that are critical to implement in an organization. It is important to understand the privacy landscape, the techniques and controls that are available, and proper privacy assessment.
