The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Run a privacy-by-design review that satisfies 4 tenant cities' privacy regimes before the new analytics module rolls out.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply OECD privacy principles + jurisdictional overlays to a real product
- Run a Privacy Impact Assessment with traceable data-flow mapping
- Design architectural privacy controls (minimization, pseudonymization, retention)
- Coordinate across multiple data-protection-authority overlays
