Module 20: Data Security, Governance and Privacy

Master enterprise data security, governance, and privacy engineering: data classification tiers (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted), PII and quasi-identifier discovery, Zero Trust architecture (NIST SP 800-207), RBAC vs ABAC policy engines, least-privilege IAM policies, envelope encryption with AWS KMS, secrets management, static and dynamic data masking, deterministic HMAC-SHA256 tokenization, k-anonymity, differential privacy, secure data sharing and data clean rooms, immutable CloudTrail access auditing, automated data retention and right-to-erasure workflows, regulatory compliance (DPDP Act 2023, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, PCI DSS), NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO 27001/27701 frameworks, and RACI governance accountability.
