Notes from the IAPP Canada: The value of privacy oversight before launch
A session at the IAPP Canada conference addressed the case for building privacy oversight into products and services before they go live, rather than applying it after launch.
Why this matters: Most privacy problems are cheaper to fix before a product ships than after. Retrofitting controls onto a live system is harder, slower, and often incomplete. Privacy review at launch is not a legal formality. It is the point where real choices get made about what data gets collected and who can see it. Doing that work early means fewer disasters later and less exposure for the people whose data is on the line.
