Frequently asked questions about BS 10012
What's BS 10012?
BS 10012 provides a best practice framework for a personal information management system that is aligned to the principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It outlines the core requirements organizations need to consider when collecting, storing, processing, retaining or disposing of personal records related to individuals.
Huawei Cloud has earned BS 10012 certification, which certifies Huawei Cloud's ability to protect the security of your personal data with a comprehensive personal data management system.
In addition, Huawei Cloud invites third-party organizations to periodically review its personal information management system based on changing conditions. This enables Huawei Cloud to always stay at the forefront of personal data protection.

Can my organization become BS 10012-certified automatically by using Huawei Cloud?
Although Huawei Cloud has earned BS 10012 certification and provides you with secure and reliable cloud services on this basis, using services provided by Huawei Cloud does not certify your organization's compliance with BS 10012. BS 10012 certification requires us to establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve the personal information management system of our organizations based on the BS 10012 guidelines, standards, and best practices. You can invite an independent third-party certifying body to assess your own system and acquire certification for your organization.
