It's our thesis that privacy will be an integral part of the next wave in the technology
revolution and that innovators who are emphasizing privacy as an integral part of the product
life cycle are on the right track. --The authors of The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto The
Privacy Engineer's Manifesto: Getting from Policy to Code to QA to Value is the first book of
its kind offering industry-proven solutions that go beyond mere theory and adding lucid
perspectives on the challenges and opportunities raised with the emerging personal information
economy. The authors a uniquely skilled team of longtime industry experts detail how you can
build privacy into products processes applications and systems. The book offers insight on
translating the guiding light of OECD Privacy Guidelines the Fair Information Practice
Principles (FIPPs) Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP) and Privacy by Design (PbD)
into concrete concepts that organizations software hardware engineers and system
administrators owners can understand and apply throughout the product or process life cycle
regardless of development methodology from inception to retirement including data deletion and
destruction. In addition to providing practical methods to applying privacy engineering
methodologies the authors detail how to prepare and organize an enterprise or organization to
support and manage products process systems and applications that require personal
information. The authors also address how to think about and assign value to the personal
information assets being protected. Finally the team of experts offers thoughts about the
information revolution that has only just begun and how we can live in a world of sensors and
trillions of data points without losing our ethics or value(s)...and even have a little fun.
The Privacy Engineer's Manifesto is designed to serve multiple stakeholders: Anyone who is
involved in designing developing deploying and reviewing products processes applications
and systems that process personal information including software hardware engineers technical
program and product managers support and sales engineers system integrators IT professionals
lawyers and information privacy and security professionals. This book is a must-read for all
practitioners in the personal information economy. Privacy will be an integral part of the next
wave in the technology revolution innovators who emphasize privacy as an integral part of the
product life cycle are on the right track. Foreword by Dr. Eric Bonabeau PhD Chairman
