During the product development stage, organizations often only consider privacy and security from a compliance perspective, and as a result, neglect potential risks. So, how can you collaborate with internal teams to prioritize these concerns and ensure a seamless product design?

Chris Handman and Jad Boutros believe privacy and security should be incorporated into company culture to disseminate information and encourage diverse ideas. To streamline the process, organizations should acquire a platform that codifies each privacy and security component. TerraTrue is a privacy management software that creates secure workflows to conform to your product design and mitigate threats.
