What does Data protection by desing mean?

Data protection by design refers to the design of systems, applications and processes to ensure compliance with data protection rules from the beginning of the design to its completion. In this way, the intentional or unintentional introduction of security vulnerabilities can be avoided and legal and moral compliance with data protection rules can be ensured.

This includes assessing data protection risks during design, implementing appropriate mechanisms to manage those risks, and testing and verifying systems to ensure that they operate in compliance with data protection rules.

It also includes a continuous monitoring process to detect and resolve any data protection issues that may arise while the system is in operation.

Adopting this approach can help avoid negative consequences such as loss of user trust, financial and/or reputational damage, as well as compliance with data protection rules and regulations.

Lastly, by implementing data protection by design, organizations can show their commitment to the protection of personal data and can help increase user trust in their systems.
