How does ISO 27001 relate to GDPR?

Although ISO 27001 and GDPR have different scopes and objectives, they are complementary to each other. ISO 27001 provides a comprehensive framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS), while GDPR governs the processing of personal data. Both are important for information security, and organisations can use them together to achieve their information security goals and to comply with data protection regulations.
What are the six domains of ISO 27001?

The six domains of ISO 27001 cover the main aspects of information security, providing a comprehensive framework for an information security management system. They are security policy, organisational security, asset management, access control, cryptography and physical/environment security.
Who needs ISO 27001 certification?

ISO 27001 is relevant to any organisation that has a requirement to protect sensitive information, such as personal data, financial information and confidential business information. This could include businesses of any size, in any sector, but commonly covers financial institutions, healthcare organisations, retailers, government agencies, technology companies and service providers.
What is the difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002?

ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 both relate to information security, but they serve different purposes and have different scopes. ISO 27001 provides a framework for an information security management system, while ISO 27002 provides guidelines and best practices for information security management.
Is ISO 27001 compulsory?

ISO 27001 is not compulsory, but it can be a valuable tool for organisations that have a requirement to protect sensitive information. Certification to ISO 27001 can ensure the appropriate measures are in place to comply with regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR.
