Annex A 5.34
Privacy and protection of personally identifiable information
Privacy requirements are identified and met in line with applicable law and contracts.
What an assessor looks for
Expect the interface with data protection work to be examined: records of processing, impact assessments, and how a subject request is handled in practice.
Where it usually fails
Data protection is treated as a separate programme with no traceable link to the management system.
