Bohemian villages? “Security by Design” and “Privacy by Design”

There are a lot of buzzwords that are particularly popular in the context of digitalization. We believe this only serves to “complexize” (sic!) and to demonstrate one’s own “expert status”.

Therefore, here is a simple explanation using the example of “Security by Design” and “Privacy by Design”.

Nota: By the way, we have always used this approach because it is simply nothing new...

„Security by Design“ – This is about protecting third party access to the software/app/server and their data

  • The system receives password protection (manual entry, touch entry or facial recognition) that prevents unauthorized access.
  • Furthermore, the data is encrypted so that it cannot be read during transmission or if a device is lost.
  • Encryption algorithms that meet these requirements are chosen right from the design stage.
  • In addition to the “Application Sandboxing” procedure, encryption according to currently recognized procedures (e.g. AES) is used.

„Privacy by Design“ – This topic considers the transfer of data to third parties.

  • In addition to encryption, this also involves anonymizing the data.
  • We generally make sure to store as little data as possible.
  • Data is only collected, processed, stored or passed on in accordance with legally prescribed data protection guidelines (i.e. recently GDPR).
  • As the project progresses, the type, scope, circumstances and purpose of processing data will be coordinated with the client in compliance with the GDPR.
