Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who needs ISO 27701 certification?
Any organization that collects, processes, or stores personal data — especially in sectors like IT, finance, healthcare, or e-commerce — can benefit from ISO 27701. It’s especially valuable for companies looking to build trust, demonstrate accountability, and meet legal privacy requirements.
Is ISO 27701 mandatory in the UAE?
While ISO 27701 is not legally mandatory, it strongly supports compliance with the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and global laws such as GDPR. It’s a proactive way to demonstrate data privacy readiness during audits, partnerships, or tenders.
How is ISO 27701 different from ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 focuses on information security, while ISO 27701 focuses on data privacy. ISO 27701 builds on ISO 27001 by adding specific requirements for managing PII, making it a natural extension of your security framework.
Do I need ISO 27001 before getting ISO 27701?
es. ISO 27701 is designed to be implemented as an extension to ISO 27001. If you're not ISO 27001 certified yet, we can help you implement both together in a combined project.
