Methods and Tools for GDPR Compliance Through Privacy and Data Protection Engineering

In this position paper we posit that, for Privacy by Design to be viable, engineers must be effectively involved and endowed with methodological and technological tools closer to their mindset, and which integrate within software and systems engineering methods and tools, realizing in fact the definition of Privacy Engineering. This position will be applied in the soon-to-start PDP4E project, where privacy will be introduced into existent general-purpose software engineering tools and methods, dealing with (risk management, requirements engineering, model-driven design, and software/systems assurance).
