Answer: ISO 27799 is not a certifiable standard. It defines guidelines to support the interpretation and implementation in health informatics of ISO 27001 Annex A controls (this one being certifiable regarding information security).
This toolkit can help you implement the general framework for ISO 27001, and the expert support included with the toolkit can help you make the adjustments to cover the requirements of ISO 27799.
1. ISO 27001 - Section 8.2 - Information Classification
It says that "Information should be classified in terms of legal requirements, value, criticality and sensitivity to unauthorized disclosure or modification."
My Question is that who should develop the "Information Classification Matrix"? IT itself or the management? Please note that there is no separate Risk Management Section too ...
Answer: The role that better fits to develop the Information Classification Matrix is the Information owner, the person who better knows the value of the information. Generally it is the process owner (the one accountable for the results of the process) or process key user (the one who better know how the process operates).
2. My 2nd Question is; how to evaluate whether a company needs to go for ISO 27001 or not? Competitive advantage is one reason, but what other criteria a company should analyze that why they need to go for ISO 27001.
Answer: Besides competitive advantage, a company may decide to go for ISO 27001 certification because it has a contract or other legal requirement (e.g., law or regulation) that demands this certification, or it identifies that by adopting ISO 27001 practices it can reduce losses and make the business more profitable.

By the end of March we will publish a ISO 17025 toolkit, and there you will find all the required documents to comply with this standard.
ISO 27001 and EU GDPR trainings
Answer: ISO 27001 and EU GDPR are complementary frameworks and you should consider attending trainings for both.
ISO 27001 will provide you knowledge about definition, implementation, operation, control and improvement of information security, while EU GDPR provider knowledge about what must be considered to ensure protection of data. So, while EU GDPR informs about what you have to require from those holding your data, ISO 27001 informs how to fulfill these requirements and ensure the controls applied are working as expected.

APQP , PPAP , FMEA and IATF 16949
Answer:
There was no substantial changes regarding APQP , PPAP , FMEA, IAF is planning to publish new documents for APQP and FMEA but the changes won't require modification of the existing documentation. So you can kep your existing APQP , PPAP , FMEA documents.
You can audit only parts of the system during the individual internal audit. In that sense you can audit the hub against the applicable requirements of the standard and QMS documentation and that is all. If the findings of the audits are insufficient, you can later expand the scope of the audit.
Article 20 Right to data portability
(1) Indicates the data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller…
(2) … the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another…
If a data subject requests to have his/her data transmitted directly from one controller to another and the recipient controller only utilizes a subset of the data provided. If at some future point the data subject requests to have his/her data transmitted again… is the new controller required to provide all of the data (including data elements that were included in the original transmission but never utilized)? Or is it ok to just transmit the data that was actually used? (just a subset of the original data)
Example:
Data Transmitted from Controller A to Controller B
· Name (prefix, first, middle, last, suffix)
· Nick Name
· DOB
· Email addresses (primary, secondary, professional…)
· Mailing address
· Title
· Credentials
· List of interests
· List of books read
Data Supported and Utilized by Controller B
· Name (prefix, first, middle, last, suffix)
· Email address (only primary)
· Mailing Address
· Title
· Credentials
Data subject requests Controller B to transmit data to Controller C… What is Controller B required to transmit to Controller C?
Answer:
I just want to begin by saying that the right to data portability as defined by EU GDPR article 20 (https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/gdpr/right-to-data-portability/) only applies:
- to personal data “provided to” the controller by the data subject for example to photos posted to a social network or content stored on a cloud service; and
- where the controller is processing personal data is based on consent or performance of a contract.
To come back to your example Controller B, if faced with a request for data portability, will need to provide to Controller C only the data that it processes in order to provide the service to the data subject not the excess data that the Controller A provided.
Privacy Notices
Answer:
In terms of Privacy Notices there are no exemptions regardless of the size or type of business, as long as you are a controller you need to present the relevant notices to the data subjects. E-commerce type businesses are not exempted so Notices are required as well. As for facilities as Mailchipm or Awebber they are only platforms that you can use to deliver mails or newsletters so the targeted dat a subjects need to be properly informed and to consent to be targeted by marketing campaigns. If you however want to generate leads and than pass the information to third parties you would need to obtain the consent of the data subjects for their information to be processed by those third parties.
EU GDPR in school
Answer:
The EU has suggested using standardized icons specifically with regards to privacy notices intended for children. Unfortunately they have not currently agreed on these standardized icons, but I agree that it will probably be the easiest way to communicate your privacy notice(s) to your pupils. If you choose to do a predominantly (or exclusively) textual privacy notice, you will need to ensure that the language used is understandable for children at the lowest age group.
