Mitigation strategy

1. Prioritize the application of **Privacy-by-Design (PbD) and Privacy Engineering principles**, specifically enforcing **data minimization** (only collecting necessary data) and **purpose limitation** throughout the entire data lifecycle to structurally limit the scope of collection and potential for misuse. 2. Implement a **comprehensive transparency and individual rights governance model**, ensuring **informed and explicit consent** is obtained for data processing, and providing clear, accessible mechanisms for data subjects to exercise their rights to **access, review, rectify, or withdraw** their personal information. 3. Enforce **robust security and access controls**, including mandatory **data encryption** (both at rest and in transit) and the application of the **Principle of Least Privilege** via Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to precisely manage and audit who can access and to whom the data may be disclosed.
