What is ISO 27701
The international standard ISO 27701, which concerns the management of personal information, is a continuation of the ISO 27001 & ISO 27002 standards, which means that any organization wishing to obtain certification with this standard must already be certified with ISO 27001.
ISO 27701 provides guidance to organizations on managing privacy controls to reduce the risk of violating individual privacy rights.

ISO 27701 Certification Process
The initial assessment for obtaining ISO 27701 certification is carried out through a structured and transparent two-stage process:
Initial Assessment: Stage I Audit
Review of the completeness and adequacy of the organization's documented Privacy Information Privacy Management System
Initial Assessment: Stage II Audit
Review of the implementation and effectiveness of the management system. The audit examines all relevant information, performance targets, internal controls and processes, assessing the organization's full compliance with the selected ISO standard, and serves as the final step in achieving the organization's certification.
After a successfull evaluation, the company receives their ISO Certification, valid for 3 years.
Surveillance Audits
During the certificate's validity period, surveillance audits (2 in total) are conducted annually to confirm the seamless and continued implementation of the Management System.
Recertification is achieved by re-evaluating the Management System before the current certificate expires.
