The National Information Security Standardization Technical Committee ("NISSTC") has recently released 24 national standards, including the Information Security Technology - Guide to the Personal Information Security Impact Assessment (Draft for Comment) (the "Draft for Comment"), to solicit opinions from the public by July 25, 2018.
The Draft for Comment, organized into six chapters, expounds on the theory and framework of the personal information security impact assessment, assessment procedures, and the specific ways of making an assessment, and the informative annexes thereto set out the judgement criteria and the implemental tables for such assessment. The Draft for Comment, applicable to the personal information security impact assessment conducted by various organizations on their own, helps assess the likely impacts on personal rights and interests and risks, caused by activities to process personal information. The impacts and risks include the influence on an individual's right of self-decision, the risk of discriminatory treatment, the risk of harm to personal reputation or suffering from mental pressure, and the risk of damage to personal property or personal injuries.
