ISO/IEC 27701 Certification
As privacy expectations and regulatory requirements evolve, so must your organization’s ability to govern personal data. We certify organizations against ISO/IEC 27701 through structured, independent evaluations of your policies, processes, and privacy controls. Our in-house certification team helps you validate your practices, support regulatory alignment, and earn stakeholder trust.
What Is ISO/IEC 27701?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) developed ISO/IEC 27701 as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001. It provides detailed guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).
Organizations seeking ISO/IEC 27701 certification must already be certified to — or simultaneously pursue — 27001, since 27701 extends its foundational information security controls to cover privacy-specific risks and obligations.
Why Pursue ISO/IEC 27701 Certification?
