What is PIMS? Why do enterprises need ISO 27701?
Intended Beneficiaries
- ✓Any enterprise that collects, processes, or transfers customer or employee personal data
- ✓Companies with EU customers or employees subject to GDPR requirements
- ✓High-risk, data-intensive sectors: financial services, healthcare, e-commerce
- ✓Companies that have suffered a data breach or are under regulatory investigation
The Difference Between Acting and Waiting
✅ When you act
B2C brands with ISO 27701 + GDPR dual certification pass EU data protection reviews directly when entering European markets — member data cross-border transfers are fully legal while competitors wait for DPA approval.
❌ When you wait
GDPR violations can reach 4% of global annual revenue. Meta was fined €1.2 billion. A single data breach destroys member trust and takes years to rebuild.
✅ When you act
Retail and e-commerce brands with complete privacy management systems can legally maximize data utilization in member marketing — precise behavioral analysis drives simultaneous improvements in conversion rates and LTV.
❌ When you wait
Companies without consent design and DPIA assessments face regulatory investigations when launching personalized marketing campaigns, forced to suspend activities and pay substantial fines.
✅ When you act
Healthcare, financial, and fitness enterprises with privacy certification demonstrate compliance capability in B2B partnership proposals — winning corporate client trust and securing channel or data partnership contracts.
❌ When you wait
Companies that experience data breaches face triple impact: media exposure, consumer class action suits, and stock price decline.
Framework Comparison & Implementation Strategy
GDPR (EU)
Applies to all companies handling EU citizens' data. Penalties up to 4% of global annual revenue or €20M. Cross-border transfer restrictions and eight data subject rights.
Taiwan PDPA
Applies to companies collecting or processing personal data in Taiwan. After 2023 amendments: fines up to NTD 15M, criminal liability up to 5 years. Both laws apply simultaneously — the stricter requirement governs.
What ISO 27001 Covers
Protects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information assets. Foundational information security framework — does not address data subject rights (access, deletion, portability).
ISO 27701 Additional Requirements
Built on ISO 27001: additionally requires eight data subject rights, notification obligations, DPIA assessments, data minimization, and de-identification — required for GDPR and Taiwan PDPA compliance.
Service Delivery Process (Four Stages)
Data Inventory & Data Mapping
Systematically catalog all personal data collection points, processing activities, and transfer channels to build a comprehensive data flow map.
Regulatory Gap Analysis
Map current practices against GDPR, ISO 27701, and Taiwan PDPA requirements to identify gaps and deliver a prioritized remediation plan.
Policy & Documentation Build
Design compliant consent mechanisms, privacy notices, and data subject rights SOPs to complete the full regulatory documentation set.
DPIA & Continuous Monitoring
Execute Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing activities, and establish breach notification procedures and annual review cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Winners Consulting different from other consulting firms?▼
Winners Consulting Services Co., Ltd. is a hands-on, practitioner-led team. Unlike single-discipline firms, Winners integrates process optimization, legal compliance, and cybersecurity engineering in one team: engagements are executed personally by VP-level or above consultants — never outsourced — from system design and regulatory mapping through to technical implementation and certification. Winners delivers Big Four-level quality with cross-functional integration synergy that better fits real-world enterprise needs, at more competitive fees than the Big Four - built for companies that genuinely want to strengthen their corporate fitness and create new blue-lake markets.
We are a Taiwan company — why do we need to comply with GDPR?▼
If any of your customers, employees, or users are natural persons located in the EU, you are subject to GDPR regardless of where your company is incorporated. Non-compliance penalties reach €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.
What is a DPIA and when is it required?▼
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required before launching new processing activities that are likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Common triggers include: large-scale personal data processing, use of new technology, and automated decision-making.
What should we do when a data breach occurs?▼
GDPR requires notification to the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach (if it meets reporting thresholds). Winners helps you build complete pre-incident, incident response, and post-incident notification processes.
How should consent forms be designed to comply with regulations?▼
Compliant consent must: clearly state the purpose of collection, specify the data types, state the retention period, and provide a mechanism to withdraw consent. Winners provides GDPR- and Taiwan PDPA-compliant consent templates and review services.

This analysis indicates that following a data leak, user usage rates dropped by approximately 25%, while the adjustment of privacy settings increased by 40%. These research findings emphasize that Taiwanese enterprises operating under the frameworks of ISO 27701, GDPR, and the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) must incorporate changes in user behavior into their Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). Doing so is crucial for mitigating the risks associated with regulatory fines and brand damage.
