How secure are your organisation’s data and systems? Given the increasing number of cyber threats circulating today, it’s essential that you strengthen your security posture to more effectively guard against ransomware, data breaches, and other types of unwanted events.

Information security standards and best practices are all headed toward the same goal: solid and scalable systems that protect IT assets and privacy. The GDPR require you to implement measures to ensure a level of personal data security that’s “appropriate”, taking into account the risks presented by the data processing activities you are involved in.

An important step that will lead to the growing importance of privacy on an international level is about to take place this year. The International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) will adopt ISO 31700 on privacy by design, a new worldwide privacy standard for consumer goods and services. The new standard provides guidelines for organisations to take into account a consumer’s privacy throughout the design, development and the rest of the product lifecycle.

There is no question then that an organisation with ISO 27001 or both ISO 27001/27701 certifications certainly has a distinct advantage when complying with the GDPR. The drawback is that many ISO 27001/27701 implementation projects take time, money, blood, sweat and tears. As with many aspects of GDPR compliance, it is ultimately a decision as to whether the long-term benefits can justify the sometimes arduous process of getting the certification based on the context and data processed by the organisation.

The Why:

  • How secure are your organisation’s data and systems? Given the increasing number of cyber threats circulating today, it’s essential that you strengthen your security posture to more effectively guard against ransomware, data breaches, and other types of unwanted events
  • How can international standards support your organisation’s data protection compliance requirements?
  • How can we prepare practical audit checklists according to the best global standards and regulations?

Session Key Takeaways:

  • Supporting your compliance obligations, such as ISO standards and GDPR
  • Improving your information security and data protection posture and raising awareness throughout your organisation
  • Reducing your security risks and operational costs and encouraging continuous improvement
  • Boost your credibility abroad, as the ISO standard is internationally known

This session is for you if… you are a CTO, DPO, CISO, Information Security manager, Cyber Security manager, Data Protection manager, Privacy manager, GRC manager, IT Auditor, Risk Practioner.
