Applicable Standards
Intended Beneficiaries
- ✓Any enterprise that collects, processes, or transfers customer or employee personal data

- ✓High-risk, data-intensive sectors: financial services, healthcare, e-commerce
- ✓Companies that have suffered a data breach or are under regulatory investigation
The Difference Between Acting and Waiting
✅ When you act
B2C brands with ISO 27701 + GDPR dual certification pass EU data protection reviews directly when entering European markets — member data cross-border transfers are fully legal while competitors wait for DPA approval.
❌ When you wait
GDPR violations can reach 4% of global annual revenue. Meta was fined €1.2 billion. A single data breach destroys member trust and takes years to rebuild.
✅ When you act
Retail and e-commerce brands with complete privacy management systems can legally maximize data utilization in member marketing — precise behavioral analysis drives simultaneous improvements in conversion rates and LTV.
❌ When you wait
Companies without consent design and DPIA assessments face regulatory investigations when launching personalized marketing campaigns, forced to suspend activities and pay substantial fines.
✅ When you act
Healthcare, financial, and fitness enterprises with privacy certification demonstrate compliance capability in B2B partnership proposals — winning corporate client trust and securing channel or data partnership contracts.
❌ When you wait
Companies that experience data breaches face triple impact: media exposure, consumer class action suits, and stock price decline.
Framework Comparison & Implementation Strategy
GDPR (EU)
Applies to all companies handling EU citizens' data. Penalties up to 4% of global annual revenue or €20M. Cross-border transfer restrictions and eight data subject rights.
Taiwan PDPA
Applies to companies collecting or processing personal data in Taiwan. After 2023 amendments: fines up to NTD 15M, criminal liability up to 5 years. Both laws apply simultaneously — the stricter requirement governs.
What ISO 27001 Covers
Protects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information assets. Foundational information security framework — does not address data subject rights (access, deletion, portability).
ISO 27701 Additional Requirements
Built on ISO 27001: additionally requires eight data subject rights, notification obligations, DPIA assessments, data minimization, and de-identification — required for GDPR and Taiwan PDPA compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are a Taiwan company — why do we need to comply with GDPR?▼
If any of your customers, employees, or users are natural persons located in the EU, you are subject to GDPR regardless of where your company is incorporated. Non-compliance penalties reach €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.
What is a DPIA and when is it required?▼
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required before launching new processing activities that are likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Common triggers include: large-scale personal data processing, use of new technology, and automated decision-making.
What should we do when a data breach occurs?▼
GDPR requires notification to the supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach (if it meets reporting thresholds). Winners helps you build complete pre-incident, incident response, and post-incident notification processes.
How should consent forms be designed to comply with regulations?▼
Compliant consent must: clearly state the purpose of collection, specify the data types, state the retention period, and provide a mechanism to withdraw consent. Winners provides GDPR- and Taiwan PDPA-compliant consent templates and review services.
