The classification of data
Answer:
Personal data that should be protected regardless of which structure within the company or third party processes it. Internally, the whole company is responsible and assigning an owner will only cause confusion and spread the belief that only the owner is accountable for how the personal data is being processed. Ultimately, the company is responsible if the data i s processed in an unlawful manner and not a specific individual/employee.
In terms of your web developer, as he will be acting as your data processor, he is bound by the obligations set up in Article 28 of EU GDPR and you, as a data controller, need to ensure that those obligations are clearly set out in the Data Processing Agreement you need to sign with the processor.
To learn more about processors and controllers, as well as the responsibility of managing personal data, check out this free EU GDPR Foundations Course (https://advisera.com/training/eu-gdpr-foundations-course//). -
QMS in Higher education
Answer:
ISO published in 2003, IWA 2:2003 - Quality management systems - Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001:2000 in education, a document updated in 2007 by IWA 2:2007 - Quality management systems -- Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001:2000 in education. However, as far as I know this 2007 guideline has been widrawn.
ISO published in 2018, ISO 21001:2018 - Educational organizations -- Management systems for educational organizations -- Requirements with guidance for use. ISO 21001:2018 is a management system standard that is partially aligned with ISO 9001:2015 for quality managent systems.

Risk, opportunities and external suppliers
Answer:
One ISO definition indicates that risk is the “effect of uncertainty on an expected result. So, what are the expected results of your organization concerning its purchasing process?
What desired results an organization wants from its purchasing process? For example: raw materials at a good price; delivered on time and with quality.
Risks/opportunities are what can contribute to not getting/ or meeting those expected results. For example:
A rise in demand of raw materials can increase prices;
The closing of an important competitor can reduce demand and prices;
Raw materials shortage due to insufficient inventory control;
Raw materials shortage due to deterioration while on warehouse;
Raw materials shortage due to delivery delay;
Raw materials shortage due wrong reference delivered;
Raw materials delivered with insufficient amount;
Raw materials delivered with defects;
…

Integrating ISO 27001 and ISO 9001
Answer: The templates are fully editable, so you can adjust them according to your needs. You only have to pay attention in the comments included in each template to identify which parts you can exclude, if needed, so the templates remain complaint with the standards.
b) I have gone through several of your tutorials to gather a feel for your presentations, and I have faith that by watching your tutorials from the beginning, we can progress step by step. I am slightly confused if / how we can achieve 9001 concurrently. We have an extremely tight deadline to achieve 27001. In relation to achieving 9001, can this be achieved within the scope of 27001, i.e. the same scope? I am sorry if this is a very basic question, but we are quite overwhelmed with the commencement of this project, and hoping to be as efficient as possible. Any guidance here would be most appreciated.
Answer: It is perf ectly possible to implement ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 together, since these standards have several requirements in common. Regarding the scope, you can define a single scope for them, defining which information you want to protect under the information security management system and including the related processes into the scope of the quality management system.

How does ISO 45001 work for service companies
Answer:
ISO 45001 is for those organizations that want to go beyond the occupational health & safety legal requirements and work towards improvement of the OHS performance for the company. As such the key is to identify the hazards for whichever processes are in your organization, and then identify what controls need to be put in place to deal with these hazards. No matter what your organizational processes are there are hazards, and this is how the ISO 45001 standard can work for you.

Article 9 GDPR (Special Category Personal Data)
Answer:
What you should do is clearly mention in your Terms & Conditions that your users should not introduce any special categories data in the chatbot/social media platform and if they do so they are the only one who is responsible for any damages.
Don’t think there is something more you can do as you can't ask for the consent of processing special category data as you don't actually need to process it. -

Business continuity in ISO 27001 covers only the continuity of the information security management and the continuity of information security.
