Draw practical lessons from failures in mobile data security without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.
Designing Data Security Strategies for Sensitive Mobile Applications
Turn mobile data security from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Availability targets for mobile data security are commercial commitments, whatever the engineering team calls them. The documentation for this aspect of technology and systems delivery is accurate only until the next release. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the technology and systems delivery capability outperform teams that only plan it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about mobile data security. The level assumes working familiarity with the technical platform but no prior formal training in the technology and systems delivery discipline. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider technology and systems delivery agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of mobile data security and prepares them for it. The difficulty is not agreeing that this aspect of technology and systems delivery matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of technology and systems delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Manage change to mobile data security so every release can be rolled back.
Design the architecture of mobile data security around its failure modes, not only its happy path.
Handle the trade-offs in mobile data security between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.
Secure the software supply chain and dependencies within mobile data security.
Document mobile data security to the level a new engineer could operate it.
Anticipate the objections that mobile data security will attract internally and answer them in advance.

Course Modules
Mobile data security: incident response and severity
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Dependencies and supply chain risk in mobile data security
- Document the runbook for mobile data security to the level a new engineer could use.
- Define incident severity levels for mobile data security and the response each triggers.
- Rank the weaknesses in mobile data security by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Benchmark the organisation's mobile data security against comparable operations.
Session 2The change to mobile data security that caused the last outage
- Compare the cost of mobile data security with the cost of its absence.
- Check that records of mobile data security answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Review whether mobile data security is aligned with the objectives of the technical platform.
- Build the competence framework that supports mobile data security.
Mobile data security: backup, recovery and continuity
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Sizing capacity for mobile data security on measured growth
- Measure current load on mobile data security and project it forward twelve months.
- Review access rights on mobile data security and remove what is no longer needed.
- Draft the minimum viable technical standard for mobile data security.
- Record the technical debt in mobile data security and schedule repayment.
Session 2Making mobile data security work when resources are constrained

Mobile data security: requirements, targets and service levels
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Proving the backup of mobile data security by restoring it
- Establish what evidence demonstrates mobile data security is under control.
- Inventory third-party dependencies inside mobile data security and their update status.
- Configure alerting on mobile data security that reflects what users experience.
- Confirm that those complying with mobile data security understand why it exists.
Session 2Building the method for mobile data security step by step
- Name a single owner for each element of mobile data security.
- Restore a backup of mobile data security in a test environment and time it.
- Identify the single points of failure in mobile data security.

Mobile data security: documentation, support and handover
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Where mobile data security typically breaks, and why
- Establish the boundary of mobile data security and record what sits outside it.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when mobile data security underperforms.
- Review logging on mobile data security for coverage and retention.
- Test the failover for mobile data security rather than assuming it works.
Session 2Making releases of mobile data security routine instead of risky

- Record what was learned when mobile data security did not go as planned.
- Agree what will be standardised in mobile data security and what will not.
- State the availability and recovery objectives for mobile data security as numbers.
