Regardless of your favorite or most hated device due to security concerns, the technologists behind them and the software they use, should share a key concern: “Security by design (and by default)”. While a strong line of prose, Security by Design – as driven by the Consumer Trust Alliance (CTA) in the US and now popularized in the European Union by the huge corpus of the GDPR text – is much more than good copy.
Privacy and security by design applies far beyond mandated data and privacy practices, processes and provisions that GDPR demands.
