Visual Maps 5–7

Map 5 — Principle → Risk → Practice → Control

Principle
what should be protected?
        ↓
Risk
what harm could occur?
        ↓
Practice
what should people do?
        ↓
Control
how will we enforce/test it?

Source-style example

Protect health-information privacy
        ↓
Unauthorized disclosure risk
        ↓
Only care-related users with a need may access
        ↓
Periodic access review removes inappropriate users

Recognition cue: a value statement is not a control. The control is an enforceable/testable mechanism.


Map 6 — Ethical-risk checkpoints for personal-data analytics

Population
Who is included / excluded?
        ↓
Capture
What is collected, and why?
        ↓
Analysis
How are people interpreted, combined, modeled or scored?
        ↓
Results / Use
Who receives or acts on the result, and what consequences follow?

Key lesson: do not wait until the final result. Ethical risk can enter at selection, capture, analysis and use.

For a consequential project, add Governance/legal review, documented decisions and harm mitigation across the flow.


Map 7 — Ethical culture & Governance operating loop

Current-state review
        ↓
Define principles + risks
        ↓
Set practices + controls
        ↓
Strategy / roadmap + training / communications
        ↓
Monitor / escalate / remediate
        ↺ improve again

Governance: standards, policies, decision practices and oversight.

Legal counsel: law and legal-risk interpretation.

Practitioners: recognize and raise day-to-day ethical risk.

Rebuild: recreate the five-step loop; put Governance on the left, Legal on the right, and write the practitioner duty underneath.

Final blank-page challenge

Recreate Chapter 2 from only these anchors:

  1. 3 ethical concerns.
  2. 4 ethical principles.
  3. 8 recurring privacy-management themes.
  4. 6 unethical-practice risk patterns.
  5. Principle → Risk → Practice → Control.
  6. 4 ethical-risk checkpoints.
  7. Ethical culture loop + Governance/legal oversight.

If you can redraw these roughly and explain each relationship in ordinary language, the atlas has done its job.

Source anchors: Chapter 2 pp. 63–67.
