BS 10012:2017 is the British Standard which specifies requirements for a PIMS which provides a framework for maintaining and improving compliance with data protection requirements and good practice. The 2017 edition of BS 10012 was written in recognition of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and closely aligns with the Regulation.
