Privacy and protection in practice
Turn principles into operating systems
A data privacy framework turns intent into repeatable decisions: what data you collect, why you collect it, how you explain it, and how you prove you did what you said. It lives in product choices, tickets, approvals, and evidence.
A data protection framework maps the same reality to controls: identity, encryption, segmentation, backups, detection, response, and recovery. It is how you reduce blast radius and keep services resilient under pressure.
The two frameworks meet in day-to-day work. Policy needs engineering. Engineering needs governance. Procurement needs vendor evidence. This site links the parts.
Start with the DPF overview, then browse the data privacy glossary, the data protection glossary, and the DPF directory.

Compliance
Build a privacy compliance program that holds up
A data privacy framework is only useful when it becomes routine: data mapping, consent flows, deletion, DSAR operations, and audit evidence. This site connects principles to implementation detail.
Start with the data privacy glossary, then move to the directory when you need tooling for inventory, DPIA workflows, and vendor risk management.
Controls
Cross-border data transfer controls and protection fundamentals
A data protection framework turns requirements into controls: identity, encryption, segmentation, monitoring, backups, and recovery testing. It is how you reduce the blast radius when things go wrong.
Browse the data protection glossary and keep a reference post handy: privacy vs protection frameworks.
