Please note that ISO 27001 was not designed to fulfill any specific legal requirement. It was developed based on globally recognized market practices for the protection of information, but its practices are so widely accepted and used that they can help fulfill most of the general aspects of laws and regulations around the world.

These articles will provide you a further explanation about how to use ISO 27001 to comply with legal requirements:

In case you are interested in which legal requirements you need to consider when implementing ISO 27001, our recommendation is for you to hire a local legal expert to help you identify such requirements. An online search can help at the beginning of your work (for an overview), but local expert advice is highly recommended.

But please note that the list in this article is not fully up-to-date because it depends on voluntary contributions from our readers – therefore, it is likely that not all regulations for each country are listed (some even may have been withdrawn).
