What is ISO 28100?
ISO 28100:2023 is the latest version of the international standard that provides a privacy framework supporting organizations in managing personally identifiable information (PII). This standard is technology-neutral and applicable to all types and sizes of organizations that process personal data.
It sets out guidelines and principles for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a privacy framework within an organization. ISO 28100 focuses on governance, risk management, data protection, and user rights – helping organizations meet increasing regulatory expectations and privacy norms.
Why is ISO 28100 important?
