What are the Requirements of ISO/IEC TS 27570:2021?
ISO/IEC TS 27570:2021 outlines several key requirements to safeguard privacy in smart cities:
Data Collection and Processing
Smart cities collect vast amounts of data from various sources. The standard mandates transparent data collection practices, ensuring that individuals are informed about what data is collected and how it is processed.
Consent Management
Obtaining explicit consent from individuals before collecting their personal data is crucial. The standard emphasizes the need for clear, accessible consent mechanisms to ensure individuals understand and agree to the data usage terms.
Data Minimization
Only data that is necessary for the intended purpose should be collected. The principle of data minimization reduces the risk of unnecessary data exposure and enhances overall privacy protection.
Security Measures
Implementing robust security measures to protect data from breaches, unauthorized access, and other cyber threats is essential. This includes encryption, access controls, and regular security audits.
Anonymization and Pseudonymization
Wherever possible, personal data should be anonymized or pseudonymized to protect individual identities. This reduces the risk of data misuse while allowing for data analysis and smart city operations.
Data Subject Rights
Individuals have the right to access their data, request corrections, and demand deletion. The standard ensures these rights are respected and facilitated efficiently.
Accountability and Governance
Organizations managing smart city data must establish clear accountability and governance frameworks. This includes appointing data protection officers and conducting regular privacy impact assessments.
