CDD Guide: Cybersecurity for Digital Designers
In my bachelor project, I address the growing need to integrate cybersecurity into the digital design process in a way that supports—rather than compromises—user experience.
The goal was to develop a practical, visually accessible guide for designers who want to approach security as a natural and intuitive part of their workflow.
Jakob Nielsen is a usability expert, author, and pioneer in User Experience.
Dr. Ann Cavoukian is recognised as one of the world's leading privacy experts.
Through a combination of theoretical research and qualitative interviews with designers and researchers, I identified key gaps in how cybersecurity is currently addressed in design practice – especially from a human-centred perspective.
The project merges two well-established frameworks: Jakob Nielsen’s 10 Usability Heuristics and Ann Cavoukian’s Privacy by Design, to form the foundation of a practical design guide.
