ISO 27701 is the privacy extension of the Information Security Management System standard, ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (ISO 27001), building upon the same requirements, controls and objectives, and is aligned with GDPR. This new certification provides a way to demonstrate conformance to the requirements of a Privacy Information Management System. It also delivers a structured framework to best approach it while recommending information security and personal data protection requirements and outlining practical guidance for managing privacy programs.

As such, we are pleased to achieve ISO 27701 certification for our Privacy Information Management System supporting Wand,” said Peter Gaffney, SVP, Systems and CISO at PRO Unlimited. “We will continue to invest in global standards like these to provide the most secure software solutions to our clients.
