Towards Privacy Framework in Software Development Projects and Applications: An Integrated Framework

Privacy has become a critical attribute in information security. Essentially, it is the responsibility of service providers who have access to personally identifiable information. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an indicator that privacy is being considered as an important regulatory requirement. This paper reviews and presents privacy frameworks within software development and its applications. The reviewed results would be consolidated and used for settling integrated privacy framework for software development projects. The proposed framework is demonstrated by examining through SDLC and project management processes.
