ISO 27701 certification at DEKRA.
DEKRA Audit Netherlands

Is your organization in control of privacy when processing (personal) data?

ISO 27701 Certification

Comprehensive privacy management system for more security

Since the introduction of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the topic of data protection has become increasingly important for many companies.

Under the circumstances, it makes good sense to introduce an appropriate data protection management system. With an ISO 27701 certificate, your organization demonstrates control over privacy in the processing of (personal) data.

About ISO 27701 certification

ISO 27701 supplements ISO 27001, outlining further requirements for enhanced information security. Certification is achieved in accordance with ISO 27001 and extended to fulfill ISO 27701 stipulations. In both cases, management systems and requirements take center stage. ISO 27701 also contains supplements to ISO 27002, the implementation guidelines for the measures in Appendix A of ISO 27001.

Features of ISO 27701 include:

  • Data protection measures
  • Appointment of a person responsible for the privacy information management system (PIMS)
  • Data protection training for employees
  • Access and modification log
  • Encryption of special categories of personal data (e.g. health data)
  • Consideration of the "Privacy by Design" principle
  • Review of security incidents for data breaches
ISO 27701 includes rules for data protection in the processing of personal data as well as data protection management i.e. contextual analysis, risk assessment and review of the company's control environment.
