Episode 4 — Own the Privacy Roles Landscape with RACI Mapping
This episode builds your ability to reason about accountability, ownership, and execution across privacy work, which is essential for CIPT questions that ask who should do what and when. We define common privacy and security roles, including business owners, system owners, controllers, processors, privacy counsel, security teams, product managers, and data stewards, and we explain how authority and responsibility differ in real organizations. You will learn how to use RACI thinking to resolve confusion, separating who is Responsible for work, Accountable for outcomes, Consulted for input, and Informed of decisions, and how that mapping changes across the data lifecycle. We also explore real-world friction points, such as when legal approves language but engineering implements controls, or when procurement signs vendors while privacy sets requirements. By the end, you will be able to justify a role assignment in plain language, which is exactly what many exam scenarios demand.
