The sooner or the later, I guess the Japanese privacy mark certifications (Pマーク)would be replaced with ISO27701 extension to ISMS one for many entities not to compromise GDPR.
Conformity to ISMS extension would be relevant to ISMAP政府情報システムのためのクラウドセキュリティ評価制度 for cloud service providers process PII.
A credit card number would be Personally Identifiable Information(PII). ISO27701, ISO27017, and ISO27018 are partially relevant to PCI DSS.

Demystifying PCI Software Security Framework: All You Need to Know for Your A...SBWebinars
If your organization is developing a payment app or even just using one in your product, then this webinar is for you.
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council recently released a new security framework to replace the previous standard (PCI PA-DSS). The new framework is set to better address the changes that the software development industry has seen in the past few years. Agile and DevOps methodologies, cloud and containerized environments and widespread open source usage have become the new normal and with this, present new AppSec challenges. To ensure that users of payment apps remain safe, the new framework aims to lay a substantial value on continuous application security.
Join Alexei Balaganski (Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole) as he discusses:
the new framework and standards, and the difference between them and the previous version
the practical steps organizations need to take in order to follow the new framework
how organizations can leverage automated vulnerability management tools to ensure application security and compliance with the new standards
ISO27001 standard was revised and a new version was published in 2013. ISO27001 is also becoming more common Information Security standard among service providers. This presentation focuses on the recent changes in 2013 version and also the process for implementing and getting certified for ISO27001.
Following are the key objectives of this presentation:
Provide an introduction to ISO27001 and changes in 2013 version
Discuss the implementation approach for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) framework
Familiarize the audience with some common challenges in implementation

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
