S2E33: "Using Privacy Code Scans to Shift Left into DevOps" with Vaibhav Antil (Privado)

The Shifting Privacy Left Podcast

This week, I sat down with Vaibhav Antil ('Vee'), Co-founder & CEO at Privado, a privacy tech platform that's leverages privacy code scanning & data mapping to bridge the privacy engineering gap. Vee shares his personal journey into privacy, where he started out in Product Management and saw need for privacy automation in DevOps. We discuss obstacles created by the rapid pace of engineering teams and a lack of a shared vocabulary with Legal / GRC. You'll learn how code scanning enables privacy teams to move swiftly and avoid blocking engineering. We then discuss the future of privacy engineering, its growth trends, and the need for cross-team collaboration. We highlight the importance of making privacy-by-design programmatic and discuss ways to scale up privacy reviews without stifling product innovation.

Topics Covered:

• How Vee moved from Product Manager to Co-Founding Privado, and why he focused on bringing Privacy Code Scanning to market.
• What it means to "Bridge the Privacy Engineering Gap" and 3 reasons why Vee believes the gap exists.
• How engineers can provide visibility into personal data collected and used by applications via Privacy Code Scans.
• Why engineering teams should 'shift privacy left' into DevOps.
• How a Privacy Code Scanner differs from traditional static code analysis tools in security.
• How Privado's Privacy Code Scanning & Data Mapping capabilities (for the SDLC) differ from personal data discovery, correlation, & data mapping tools (for the data lifecycle).
• How Privacy Code Scanning helps engineering teams comply with new laws like Washington State's 'My Health My Data Act.'
• A breakdown of Privado’s FREE "Technical Privacy Masterclass."
• Exciting features on Privado’s roadmap, which support its vision to be the platform for collaboration between privacy operations & engineering teams.
• Privacy engineering trends and Vee’s predictions for the next two years.
