Data-sharing

Data-sharing refers to the exchange of information between organizations under agreed terms. According to ISO/IEC 27701 and GDPR Article 20, it requires a clear legal basis, such as consent or contractual necessity. In the automotive sector, this involves sharing vehicle-related data, requiring strict control over data-centric security and privacy. Unlike simple data transfer, Data-sharing emphasizes purpose limitation, meaning data can only be used for the specific purposes agreed upon, which is a critical component of information-centric risk management.

Practical application involves three stages: First, data classification based on ISO 27701 to categorize information by sensitivity (e.g., PII, trade secrets). Second, implementing technical controls like data masking, encryption (TLS 1.3), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure secure exchange. Third, establishing monitoring and auditing mechanisms to comply with GDPR Article 30's record-keeping requirements. For instance, a Taiwan-based automotive supplier implementing these steps can reduce data-related risk incidents by 40% and achieve a 95% compliance rate in international audits.

Taiwan enterprises face three primary challenges: first, the complexity of dual compliance (Taiwan Personal Data Protection Act vs. GDPR), which can be mitigated by adopting ISO 27701 as a unified framework. Second, technical infrastructure gaps, solvable by adopting Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB) or centralized data-sharing platforms. Third, trust-building between partners, which can be addressed through privacy-preserving technologies like Federated Learning. The recommended roadmap is to complete a risk assessment within 90 days, followed by ISO 27701 certification within 12 months to ensure global competitiveness.
