ISO 27701 - Privacy In Information Management System

Our Focus

For the Global General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the drafting of numerous similar privacy laws and regulations around the world, we have a huge market for the code of conduct, to illustrate privacy data compliance and certification. This is where ISO 27701 and IRQS comes in place.

What is ISO 27701 Certification?

But, what is exactly ISO 27701 ?

ISO 27701 is one of the most reliable Information security management standards that structures how businesses should manage the various risks that are associated with information security threats; including policies, procedures and staff training. In a nutshell, ISO 27701 is a certification for Information Management System specification that defines a thorough set of operational checklists that can be tailored to a wide range of regulations, including GDPR.

It is a one-stop solution for businesses, industries, and all types of organizations to document their policies, procedures, protocols, and activities in accordance with the operational checklists of the standard, with records then audited by internal and third-party auditors, resulting in detailed proof of standard compliance. Here’s what ISO 27701 is capable of:-

Why IRQS is Standardisation?

The International Organization for Standardisation, in partnership with the International Electrotechnical Commission, publishes the ISO/IEC 27001. Furthermore, the ISO/IEC 27001, defined within the ISO 27001 standard are information security guidelines, requirements intended to protect an organisation’s data assets from loss or unauthorised access and it also is recognised as a means of demonstrating their commitment to information security management through certification.

Furthermore, ISO 27001, includes a risk assessment process, organisational structure, and information classification. Access control mechanisms, physical and technical safeguards, Information security policies, procedures, and monitoring and reporting guidelines. 

What Constitutes the Foundation of the Standard?

IRQS’s ISO 27001 Certificates' Key Points

Privacy requires security. For security management, ISO 22701 relies on ISO 27001 standardBy creating a point of convergence between what may otherwise be two distinct roles, ISO 27001 offers new controller- and processor-specific rules that assist businesses in overcoming the difficulties of privacy and security.

The ISO 27701 certifications offered by IRQS can be added to ISO 27001 certifications; they can be acquired by individual organizations & businesses.

How does IRQS ISO 27701 Address the Issues with Compliance?

Organizations are required to protect any personally identifiable information against theft, loss, and damage in accordance with the GDPR’s regulations. With the capacity to demonstrate that inappropriately retained personal data is removed.

These Three Significant Compliance Challenges are Assisted by IRQS ISO 27701 Certifications

It is necessary to concentrate on numerous laws when using Our ISO 27701 certifications as an integrated method of data privacy operational control.

ISO 27701 is a global standard that is made to comply with GDPR and data protection laws while still being adaptable enough to fit the needs of particular industries.

This enables businesses to comply with various regulatory standards while working inside a single framework.

We Can Audit Each Regulation Individually

In a single audit cycle, internal and external auditors utilize ISO 27701 certifications to assess regulatory compliance. Compared to adopting a fragmented regulation-by-regulation audit procedure, it saves your money.

Promises of Compliance without Evidence could be Dangerous

It is not sufficient for businesses to adhere to best practices for data privacy; they also need to be able to demonstrate compliance with laws and regulations. That necessitates having a solid, integrated documentation procedure.

Businesses with intricate operations may use a variety of cloud service providers, partner vendors, and data controllers and processors.

Any portion of the supply chain where it is impossible to demonstrate compliance with rules or regulations could put the company at risk for loss of money and goodwill.
