MIDASEC03-BP01 Integrate and enforce privacy by design principles
Apply privacy-by-design principles in the architecture of manufacturing data environments to help you comply with privacy regulations from the outset. This includes minimizing data collection, embedding access controls, and anonymizing personal data.
Desired outcome: Data privacy is protected from the start of the system design, reducing regulatory risks and improving trust with stakeholders.
Benefits of establishing this best practice: Aligns with data protection regulations like GDPR or CCPA, reduces risk of breaches, and supports ethical data use.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Implementation guidance

Implementation steps
-
Identify personal and sensitive data processed within the manufacturing system.
-
Limit collection and retention to only required fields and durations.
-
Implement anonymization or pseudonymization where applicable.
-
Embed access controls and audit logs from the start.
