Is the sequence in the last steps (SoA vs risk treatment plan) interchangeable or is there a correct way?
Answer: The ISO 27001 risk treatment consists of these requirements (exactly in this order):
- Selection of applicable risk treatment options
- Determination of necessary controls to implement the chosen options
- Comparison of determined controls against SO 27001 Annex A
- Elaboration of the Statement of Applicability
- Formulation of the Risk Treatment Plan
- Approval of the Risk Treatment Plan and residual risks
The standard follow this order because, besides the results of risk assessment, the risk treatment plan must also consider applicable legal requirements and top management decisions when defining actions, resources and deadlines to implement a control, and these information is found in the SoA justification for controls inclusions.
I recommend you to set the deadlines for the acceptance of individual documents in accordance to project files . It is important to follow the structure of the toolkit (the folders are numbered for the optimalimplementation) when implementing the standard, and of course, not to skip the folders.

Starting off ISO 9001:2015
Following there are some tips that should help you to avoid most of the problems during the implementation:
- Get real management support – enough money, enough human resources. For this
purpose the business benefit of the project need to be communicated to the top
management.
- Establish project structure – nominate the project manager, the project sponsor, the
project team (if needed), define the milestones, deadlines, outputs and budget.
- Do not try to write too many documents – you should aim at the minimum that is
really needed; do not try to write too detailed documents (e.g., risk assessment) –
such documents will be improved throughout time during the regular review
process.
- Learn which documents and records are mandatory. In this article you can find the mandatory documents and those wh ich are recommended: https://advisera.com/9001academy/knowledgebase/list-of-mandatory-documents-required-by-iso-90012015/

Privacy notice
Answer:
Yes, you can do that. Alternatively you can also send the privacy notices to the employers instead of the data subjects. This may save you some time.
Or is there need for extending the questionnaire?
Can you help me with putting an sample example of one process in the DPIA register?
Answers:
The DPIA register is meant to be use as a tool to asses the risks related to a processing activity. Based on EU GDPR art. 35 – “Data protection impact assessment” ( https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/gdpr/data-protection-impact-assessment/) the need to perform a DPIA is assessed by the controller and this first assessment is done through the first 5 questions in the DPIA register.
The questions within the DPIA register are consistent with the EU GDPR requirements but there is nothing keeping you in adding additional questions and to customize the document for your needs.
US is out of the question, Canada however because is one of the countries which was issued an adequacy decision may very well make some changes to its data protection legislation to match with the requirements of the EU GDPR.
Other countries such as Switzerland also announced that they will try to mirror the requirements of the EU GDPR in their own local laws.
I know too several variations of that acronym. There is no need for a leading authority, your organization is free to decide which variation suits best. Really important is taking care of clause 6.2.1 when defining quality objectives.
The following material will provide you information about Good Quality Objectives:
The standard gives some examples about what can be considered as format. Language – if your organization is present in several countries you have to handle the language issue.
Software version – Will all users have access to the software for consulting?
Graphics – Will all procedures have the same graphic look? Will all work instructions have the same graphic look? Will all forms have the same graphic look?
The following material will provide you information about the documented information:
