Episode 46 — Assess technical risks across infrastructure, cloud, endpoints, and storage layers

This episode explains how to assess technical risks across infrastructure, cloud services, endpoints, and storage layers, because CIPM expects privacy program managers to understand where technical weaknesses create privacy impact, even if they are not hands-on engineers. You will learn how privacy risk shows up in access control failures, misconfigurations, weak logging, insecure APIs, exposed storage buckets, unencrypted data at rest or in transit, and endpoint compromise that leads to unauthorized disclosure. We cover how to evaluate shared responsibility in cloud environments, how to confirm that encryption and key management practices are real and consistent, and how to use evidence like configuration baselines, IAM reviews, and vulnerability management reports to support governance decisions. Practical examples include SaaS misconfigurations and shadow IT, and troubleshooting guidance focuses on gaps between security and privacy priorities, such as systems that meet availability goals but lack minimization, retention enforcement, or reliable deletion capability.
