As data breaches and privacy violations continue to make headlines, it is evident that mere reactive measures are not enough to protect personal data. Therefore, behind every privacy-aware organization lies an established software engineering process that systematically includes privacy engineering activities. Such activities include the selection of privacy-enhancing technologies, the analysis of potential privacy threats, as well as the continuous re-evaluation of privacy risks at runtime.
In this blog post, we give an overview of some of these activities which help your organization to build and operate privacy-friendly software by design. In doing so, we focus on risk-based privacy engineering as the driver for »Privacy by Design«.
