Being overlooked for privacy design roles despite deep platform knowledge

The situation this course is for

Strong engineers with cloud and data expertise often don’t get tapped for privacy or compliance initiatives because their knowledge isn’t formally mapped to recognized standards. This creates missed opportunities to influence high-visibility projects and leadership conversations.

Who this is for

Data Engineer at a cloud-first tech company working across Azure and data platforms, involved in data governance or compliance adjacent work but not formally recognized as a privacy or compliance specialist

Who this is not for

Engineers who only work on batch ETL pipelines with no interaction with compliance teams, or those focused exclusively on non-cloud data systems

What you walk away with

  • First internal reviewer for ISO 27018 alignment in Azure deployments
  • Specific examples and implementation templates for each control
  • Clear documentation trail that supports audit readiness
  • Recognition as the go to person for cloud data privacy questions
  • Ability to lead ISO 27018 scoping without external consultants
