What is BS 10012:2017?
BS 10012:2017 is a British Standard developed to help organisations establish, implement, maintain, and improve a Personal Information Management System (PIMS). It provides a structured framework for managing personal data responsibly and aligning organisational practices with data protection legislation and recognised best practices.
The standard focuses on identifying privacy risks, implementing appropriate controls, and ensuring accountability in the processing of personal information.
