Data protection Certification

INTRODUCTION OF THE EU DATA PROTECTION BASIC REGULATION EU-DSGVO

On May 25, 2016 the  European Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO) came into effect. This new EU regulation establishes a uniform approach for companies across Europe to manage personal data, serving as the foundation for a consistent data protection law throughout the continent. The DSGVO Regulation mandates that companies comply with the new requirements regarding the protection of personal data. As a result, many of the earlier, country-specific data protection laws will either cease to apply or will need to be modified.

WHAT IS A DATA PROTECTION CERTIFICATION?

The implementation of the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO) will require companies to navigate significant changes in how they handle data. To prevent severe penalties, it is crucial to take appropriate measures promptly and ensure full compliance with all legal obligations. The standard and the Data Protection Certification encompass a wide array of data protection and process-related aspects. These were developed based on the following regulatory frameworks:

  • European Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO)
  • Quality management according to ISO 9001:2015
  • Compliance management as outlined in ISO 14001:2015
  • Information security management from ISO 27001:2013
  • Personal data management as per BSI 10012:2017

By incorporating specific sections from the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Standards and compliance elements from ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management, the Data Protection Certification regulations can be seamlessly integrated into existing management systems.
