Shifting Privacy Left is a conscious effort to embed privacy practices earlier in the development life cycle to prevent privacy harms and data breaches from forming, Privacy Tech Advisor Debra Farber says.

In this interview Debra Farber and I discuss what Shifting Privacy Left does, how it helps organisation, what competencies are needed and how it is implemented.

My take-aways from the interview:

• Privacy requirements should be table stakes and functional product requirements, not something that comes from legal or the privacy team.
• Privacy by Design is the strategy, Shifting left is the implementation.
• It's a cultural shift which requires upskilling. Today, most developers, don't think privacy is their responsibility. Therefore, they should learn about privacy and data protection.
• Shifting Privacy Left can solve problems, lessening the compliance burden down the line.
