Module 02
Security & Data Privacy
Understand exactly where your data goes when it touches an AI system. This module maps the complete data lifecycle, exposes the real differences between consumer and enterprise privacy models, teaches your team to find and govern shadow AI, and prepares you to defend against prompt injection attacks. Built by developers who have read the actual contracts.
What participants will be able to do
- Trace the complete data lifecycle through an AI API call, from prompt to storage to deletion, and identify every point where data leaves your control.
- Distinguish between consumer, API, and enterprise privacy tiers and know which is acceptable for which type of business data.
- Conduct a shadow AI audit across your organization using a structured discovery checklist.
- Identify prompt injection attack vectors in customer-facing AI applications and describe practical defense strategies.
- Map your regulatory requirements to specific AI data handling obligations before deployment, not after.
What we cover
Data flow in AI systems
Most people treat AI like a calculator that processes information locally. That mental model is wrong in ways that matter for security. We map exactly what happens when your team hits "send" on a prompt: data in transit, data at rest, retention policies, subprocessors, and the gap between what vendor marketing says and what the DPA actually commits to.
Consumer vs. enterprise privacy
The same AI model can have dramatically different data handling depending on the product tier. Most employees don't know this distinction exists, which is how sensitive business data ends up in consumer-tier tools that use it for model training. We break down the three tiers and draw clear lines for what data belongs where.
Shadow AI discovery
Your employees are already using AI tools you don't know about. It's not malicious; it's a policy gap. Banning AI drives usage underground and trades visible risk for invisible risk. We teach a structured discovery process and a governance framework that channels AI usage toward approved tools instead of fighting a prohibition culture.
Prompt injection & adversarial attacks
Most AI security conversations focus on data leaving your organization. Prompt injection is the reverse problem: attackers crafting inputs that manipulate AI systems you've deployed. We cover direct and indirect injection, real-world attack scenarios, and the defense-in-depth strategies we use when building AI-powered features for our own clients.
Compliance mapping
Your organization already has compliance requirements that apply to AI data handling. You just haven't mapped them yet. We walk through GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOC 2, and the incoming EU AI Act, and help you build a pre-deployment compliance checklist specific to your regulatory landscape.
Hands-on: data flow audit
Map the data that flows through your most critical AI use cases. Identify exposure points, classify risk levels by data type, and leave the session with a complete data flow diagram ready for security review. Most teams discover gaps they didn't know existed.
Deliverables
Shadow AI Discovery Guide
A four-phase playbook for surfacing every AI tool in use across your organization, classifying each one into governance categories, communicating policy without creating an adversarial culture, and establishing ongoing governance so the audit isn't a one-time event.
Data Flow Audit Template
A structured template for mapping every data type that flows through your AI tools, the vendor and tier receiving it, and the risk classification for each. Includes a risk classification guide with clear thresholds so your team knows exactly which data belongs in which tier of tool.
