The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the third session of our Cybersecurity Compliance Series: China's Emerging Personal Information Security Impact Assessment System and the Role of Standards in Cybersecurity Compliance Landscape, taking place on Monday 19 November, from 10h to 12h at the European Chamber’s Beijing and Shanghai offices. It will feature He Yanzhe, Chief Inspector of Cybersecurity Review Department, Cybersecurity Evaluation Centre, China Electronics Standardisation Institute (CESI) 何延哲，中国电子技术标准化研究院网络安全测评中心审查部总监.

He is among the drafters of various Chinese personal information protection and cross-border data transfer standards. At this meeting, He will share his thoughts on the role of standards in the cybersecurity compliance landscape and give an introduction to the design, key provisions and status of the draft Personal Information Security Impact Assessment (PISIA) Guide currently being formulated by the National Information Security Standardisation Technical Committee (TC260). The presentation will be followed by a roundtable discussion.

PISIA is an important component of the privacy practice that exists also under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in other jurisdictions. Despite being a recommended national standard, the PISIA Guide, once released, will substantiate the personal information protection requirements laid down by the Cybersecurity Law and the Personal Information Security Specification. The European Chamber participated in the public consultation on the PISIA Guide in July this year. Attached please find our comments at the time for your internal reference.
