GDPR and ISO 27001 work best as one story: processors, DPIAs, breaches and demonstrable controls in your ISMS.

What to document

  • Lawful basis, registers and processor agreements.
  • DPIAs linked to risk treatment.
  • Breach playbooks aligned with SOC timelines.
  • Evidence that matches your privacy notice and technical reality.

Deep dive: GDPR and ISO 27001, EU hosting and data residency, ISO 27001 certification.

Key takeaways

  • GDPR Article 32 and ISO Annex A reinforce each other when TOMs are measurable.
  • Processor registers need a living cadence — not a one-off spreadsheet.
  • Breach routing must align legal and technical timelines.
  • Link DPIA outcomes to risk treatment for credible board reporting.
