ISO/IEC 27701
Privacy information management extension to an information security management system.
Privacy and Data Protection
Understand privacy law and build programs that protect personal data.
Overview
Privacy and Data Protection: where to start
Privacy programs turn legal obligations into processes: knowing what personal data you hold, why, who can access it and how you respond to rights requests and breaches. Requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Know the difference
Standard, regulation, certification or training
01
Standard
A published document of requirements or guidance. Organisations are certified against some standards, not others.
02
Regulation or law
Binding rules set by a government or authority. There is no certificate of compliance unless the authority creates one.
03
Professional certification
A credential issued to a person by a certifying body after an exam and, often, proven experience.
04
Training course
Teaching that builds knowledge. Attending a course does not by itself award a certification.
