The Engineering Hub Function leads technical cross-functional activities from the entire "Woven City" perspective. It creates policies and supports service development from quality management.

Our team, as one of sub-Function of Engineering Hub, supports resolving issues related to privacy risk with agility in inventor’s projects so that they can start their projects without privacy related problems. We also consult with privacy risk experts, and provide the best way to apply privacy-related laws/regulation and our internal regulations into each project. We manage privacy risk assessment processes to check each project efficiently as a gate process. In order to achieve these tasks, we communicate smoothly with project teams, other risk management teams, experts, engineers, etc. As we are involved in the review of a wide variety of projects, we take on the challenge of privacy risk cases of diverse industries. If a privacy risk issue occurred in a project, it will result in a loss of customer trust and have a major impact on the company. That’s why this work is the most important strategic component and essential for a company to succeed the projects. This is very unique and valuable opportunity for those who are interested in expanding their career in data governance or data compliance field.

However, as enormous services will be tested in Woven City in the short term, an agile and effective privacy risk assessment is required. For this reason, the ability to manage assessment progress and the ability to consider the efficiency of the process are necessary.

In addition, it is necessary to have a mind to consider the best strategy for implementing privacy-related internal regulations from the perspective of the project team, so as not to compromise the value of the service or the speed of development, and to implement it, and to strongly lead and promote the relevant members.
