Course Overview
The constraint on sensitive data classification is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. Most organisations now hold more data about this strand of digital and data-driven work than they can actually act on. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the digital and data-driven work discipline. It concentrates on the parts of sensitive data classification that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the practice within digital and data-driven work before they become incidents. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this area of digital and data-driven work and under-invest in testing it. Participants test their assumptions about sensitive data classification against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Where this strand of digital and data-driven work is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within digital and data-driven work sustainable.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Evaluate the bias, fairness and explainability obligations attaching to sensitive data classification.
Build the internal skills to operate sensitive data classification without permanent vendor dependency.
Set retention, lineage and deletion rules for the data flowing through sensitive data classification.

Sensitive data classification: vendor selection and avoiding lock-in
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Closing out sensitive data classification and capturing what was learned
- Define the exit route from the supplier supporting sensitive data classification.
- Plan how sensitive data classification is versioned and how a bad release is rolled back.
- Reduce the variation in how sensitive data classification is carried out between teams.
- Define the service level sensitive data classification must meet and what happens when it is missed.
Session 2Proving sensitive data classification paid for itself
- Set out how exceptions to sensitive data classification are requested and approved.
- Test the procedure for sensitive data classification against a realistic scenario.
- List the data sources sensitive data classification consumes and confirm each has a named owner.
