PII & Data Governance
A “delete my data” request arrives and you realize one user's PII is copied across a dozen tables, three Parquet snapshots, and a Kafka topic with seven-day retention. Right-to-erasure is an engineering problem, not a legal checkbox.
This specialization is a lens across the whole stack: classifying PII, masking and tokenization at ingestion, de-identification, and what GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA actually require of the systems you build.
What you'll learn
- Classify PII and design masking or tokenization at ingestion
- Map GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA requirements to concrete data-engineering controls
- Engineer right-to-erasure across tables, file formats, and streams
- Apply de-identification techniques and reason about re-identification risk
