Animated course on Mozilla’s Lean Data Practices
What you will learn
Understand key terminology such as personal data, multifactor authentication, and data lifecycle and apply these terms to your organization.
Distinguish data in your organization that could, if used in the wrong way, be harmful to others.
Distinguish the three principles of lean data practices (LDP) (stay lean, engage your audience, and build in security).
Apply LDP principles to your technology and policy processes to reduce the likelihood of harm and improve consumers’ understanding of how their data is handled.
Description
Lean data practices (or LDP) is a flexible framework that anyone can use to advance privacy, security, and innovation in their organization. It is useful for anyone with access to personal data, whether that data is for consumers of your technology, your employees, or even your business partners. Organizations can use the LDP framework to build trust and reduce risk to their consumers and brand. To date, Mozilla has reached more than 100 organizations all over the world (including in India, Kenya, Nigeria, United Kingdom, United States, and Canada) through live and remote training, as well as roundtable discussions.
As part of its Reimagine Open initiative and Africa Innovation Mradi (Kiswahili for “program”) for the African continent, Mozilla’s first self-paced Lean Data Practices (LDP) course was designed for the startup and innovation community, especially those with little knowledge on privacy and security concepts. However, many of the learnings in this course are applicable regardless of the size of your organization, your industry, or your geographical location. This course dives into how you as the Learner can apply the LDP framework in your own area of expertise, with a focus on technology-based products. Mozilla also uses case studies throughout the course to highlight real life applications of the LDP concepts.
