Data Protection Management (ISO 27701) Efficient – Professional – Compliant With Trigonum’s approach to building a data protection management system, you can sustainably implement the requirements of the GDPR in your company and establish an efficient data protection management system. Today, companies face very high data protection requirements that must be addressed thoroughly. These requirements have increased significantly in recent years due to the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the KRITIS Regulation, the BSI Act, and the rising compliance demands of business partners and customers. In the field of data protection, the implementation of a data protection management system according to ISO 27701 is seen as a solution to the privacy issues that companies face. This system forms the framework and engine of corporate data protection, which must be continuously maintained in organizations. One challenge many companies face is that the GDPR specifies what is allowed or prohibited, but does not provide guidelines on how to implement these legal data protection requirements. Additionally, companies are subject to accountability, meaning they must document and prove compliance with regulations and guidelines. This is a significant challenge for many organizations. ISO/IEC 27701 defines a data protection management system as an extension of an information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001. Integrating these management systems allows companies to create synergies and improve overall security. To meet data protection requirements and provide the necessary evidence to business partners and data protection authorities, we recommend establishing a professional data protection management system based on ISO 27701. The requirements of ISO 27701 assume an ISMS based on ISO 27001. Data protection and information security are closely related but pursue different goals. Data protection is a legal field that protects individuals, such as employees, customer contacts, or other natural persons. Violations of data protection laws can lead to severe fines. Information security encompasses technical and organizational measures that protect a company’s knowledge and assets from loss, unauthorized access, or tampering. Failures can lead to compensation claims from customers and suppliers and damage the company’s reputation. Since there are many overlaps between data protection and information security, the requirements of both areas should be considered together.

Our experts guide and support you in developing the necessary concepts for building a data protection management system that meets GDPR requirements. Together with you, our consultants conduct a status assessment, determine your specific situation, and help develop a legally compliant data protection concept. Based on this, we build a tailored data protection management system for your company. Today, companies face very high data protection requirements that must be addressed thoroughly.

Innovative Tool for Implementing a Data Protection Management System For building and operating a professional data protection management system, we have developed our innovative tool for integrated management systems, TRIGovernance. The close integration of solution components, such as document management, information classification, asset and risk management, processing descriptions, as well as audit and task management, makes TRIGovernance a powerful collaboration platform for integrated management systems. This allows companies to centralize all information and solution components, simplify processes, and leverage synergies for different management systems. Structured Approach to Building a Data Protection Management System We have developed our own approach to integrated management systems, addressing both data protection and information security to create synergies. This approach takes into account the compliance requirements of relevant standards and regulations. We have also developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, policies, and documents to help companies meet extensive compliance requirements and obligations in a sustainable and targeted manner. Our structured approach has enabled us to break down the complex requirements for building a GDPR-compliant data protection management system and an ISMS into manageable work and solution packages – our work packages. In addition to the structured approach, our framework includes a comprehensive and audit-tested documentation concept. This concept covers management manuals, process descriptions, policies, templates, forms, and implementation plans. Data Protection Management – What Are the Benefits?

It is increasingly important to address the technical and organizational measures (TOMs) required for both areas in a unified manner. A key success factor for effective data protection and information security management is integrating these measures into existing business processes to avoid duplication and impractical solutions. Trigonum has developed an integrated approach that aligns with the GDPR, ISO 27701, ISO 27001, TISAX, and other recognized standards, addressing both information security and data protection simultaneously. Structured Approach Model We have developed our own approach model for integrated management systems that addresses data protection and information security together to create synergies. This model considers the compliance requirements of relevant standards and norms, which we have consolidated into controls. We’ve also developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, policies, and documents to efficiently and sustainably integrate compliance requirements into operational practice. Our structured approach enables us to break down the complex requirements of building a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components – our work packages. The foundation for a functioning data protection management system is an initial audit to assess your current status. Knowing where you currently stand allows us to plan the best path to reach your goals together. This approach provides clear answers to key questions: What measures are needed to meet the requirements (controls)? Which “DSMS documents” are necessary for a GDPR-compliant DSMS? In which documents are the necessary measures typically addressed? Which requirements are already in place, and what still needs to be done to meet the respective audit standards? What should I consider when building a GDPR-compliant data protection organization? Who is responsible, and what are the steps involved? This framework will enable you to quickly and confidently answer questions from external auditors (e.g., data protection authorities or accreditation bodies) regarding your compliance obligations. Our framework includes not only a structured approach but also a comprehensive and audit-proven documentation concept, including management handbooks, process descriptions, policies, templates, forms, and implementation plans. Protecting Data and Knowledge More and more companies are recognizing the value of information and data in the digital age. Beyond the legally required protection of personal data, safeguarding corporate knowledge is becoming a critical focus. Information and data are key assets for companies and must be adequately protected. As most information and personal data are now created, stored, or processed through IT, it is essential to implement measures that protect this data adequately. Simply purchasing antivirus software, firewalls, or data backup systems is no longer sufficient to provide the necessary security for all business processes, information, and IT systems. A holistic concept is needed to address this challenge, including a functioning and integrated security management system. This involves implementing TOMs (technical and organizational measures) as part of risk management to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, applications, and IT systems. This is a continuous process that requires regular evaluation and adaptation of strategies and concepts to ensure effectiveness. Trigonum helps companies build tailored data protection and/or information security management systems to protect personal data and corporate knowledge adequately. Innovative Tool TRIGovernance To meet GDPR requirements, particularly for risk management, documentation, compliance, regular auditing, and continuous improvement of defined processes, it is necessary to establish a data protection management system (DSMS). Ideally, this should be integrated with other relevant management systems (QMS, ISMS, etc.) to avoid duplication and increase transparency. For this purpose, we have developed our innovative tool TRIGovernance for building and operating integrated management systems. The close integration of solution components for document management, information classification, asset and risk management, processing descriptions, data protection impact assessments, as well as audit and task management, makes TRIGovernance a powerful collaboration platform for integrated management systems. Companies can centralize all information and solution components, simplify processes, and leverage synergies across different management systems.
