What Privacy Experts Say About the Book
“A straightforward, realistic, and encouraging guide to privacy work, regardless of what career stage you are at. The author repeatedly emphasizes that privacy practice requires a cross-functional and flexible skill set. This book identifies both the obvious and the less apparent skills, then provides easy-to-execute strategies for success. It uses real-world scenarios to emphasize points and keep you engaged. As an attorney changing tracks mid-career, this book gave me the confidence to know which of my existing skills are most valuable and what areas still need developing.”
“The single most frequent request I received as a regulator was for the provision of more practical, real-world guidance and case studies to support best-practice data protection and privacy implementation on the ground. Teresa Troester-Falk has downloaded and distilled her own extensive career delivering global privacy programmes into the most valuable, truly operational guidebooks that will fast-track any privacy professional, across any jurisdiction, to outcomes that are more than “good enough.” In an EU context, the GDPR requires the Data Protection Officer not just to have expert knowledge but also the necessary “professional qualities”—Teresa nails the coaching of those essential qualities.”
“Anyone who is well versed in the theory of data protection policies will find this book a useful primer when they step into the complex world of practical administration. Troester-Falk's advice is needed amid changing digital technologies, legal requirements and public expectations. She explores and explains contemporary best practices in a highly informed, highly digestible way. Whether an experienced privacy professional struggles with managing workflows, gaining buy-in, or drawing boundaries in the grey zone, this book has expert guidance that can steer its reader toward making difficult judgments with clarity and confidence.”
“Teresa has managed to distill the practical takeaways from decades of experience into a guide that provides the real-world know-how privacy professionals need. Learning data protection law is the easiest part; learning how to build a program in an uncertain and changing environment takes years of trial and error and struggle. Teresa shares the invaluable hard-won lessons from her career and from colleagues in the community that will be invaluable to anyone working in data protection or artificial intelligence.”
