What is GDPR?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is data protection and privacy law that enforces organizations to protect personal data of EU (European Citizens), giving more control to individuals over their personal data. It not only includes EU and EEA (European Economic Area) but it also applies to any globally-present companies that are associated with storing or processing personal data of EU residents. The GDPR, consisting of 7 principles, 173+ regulations, and 99 articles, mandates new approaches to data security by provisioning legislative solutions to data breaches and ensure confidentiality and privacy of personal data.

How ISO:27001 And GDPR Related With Each Other?

Similar to GDPR in essence, ISO:27001 is an international information security standard that helps companies adopt best practices for implementing and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It aims to control data security, integrity, and availability by helping companies to follow legal ISO Compliance.

While GDPR and ISO standards both have a fundamental thing in common, i.e. data security controls, both indicate several similar rules for data security. There are several differences exist between GDPR and ISO, but both are aiming to reduce cyber threats and mitigate external or internal security violations.

The similarity between both these standards includes:

  • Data Integrity, Availability, Confidentiality
  • Risk Assessment
  • Notification Of Data Breaches
  • Data Protection Measures
  • Documenting Security Processes
