S2E31: “Leveraging a Privacy Ontology to Scale Privacy Processes” with Steve Hickman (Epistimis)
This week’s guest is Steve Hickman, the founder of Epistimis, a privacy-first process design tooling startup that evaluate rules and enables the fixing of privacy issues before they ever take effect. In our conversation, we discuss: why the biggest impediment to protecting and respecting privacy within organizations is the lack of a common language; why we need a common Privacy Ontology in addition to a Privacy Taxonomy; Epistimis’ ontological approach and how it leverages semantic modeling for privacy rules checking; and, examples of how Epistimis Privacy Design Process tooling complements privacy tech solutions on the market, not compete with them.
