ISO 27701 Certification: A Milestone in Data Privacy Protection
We are delighted to announce that TrustID has successfully achieved the ISO 27701 certification. This international standard for Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) demonstrates how committed we are to safeguarding our customers’ personal data.
What is ISO 27701?
ISO 27701 is a globally recognised standard that extends the requirements of ISO 27001 – against which we were first certified earlier this year – to include privacy information management. It provides a framework for organisations to implement and manage data privacy controls, ensuring personal data is handled responsibly and in line with compliance regulations.
Why is ISO 27701 Important?
Enhanced Data Protection: ISO 27701 helps us establish a robust data privacy infrastructure which protects our customers’ personal information from being accessed by the wrong people.
Increased Trust: By demonstrating our commitment to data privacy, we build trust with our customers and partners.
Regulatory Compliance: ISO 27701 aligns with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act (DPA).
Our Commitment to Data Privacy
Achieving ISO 27701 certification is not just a milestone, it is a continuous journey. At TrustID, we are dedicated to continually invest in our data privacy practices, always keeping our customers’ personal information secure.
Key Elements of Our PIMS
Data Inventory and Classification: We have implemented a comprehensive process to identify, classify, and protect personal data.
Risk Assessment and Management: We regularly assess data privacy risks and implement appropriate controls to mitigate them.
Privacy Policies and Procedures: Our policies and procedures align with ISO 27701 requirements and provide clear guidelines for handling personal data.
Employee Training and Awareness: We ensure that our employees are trained on data privacy best practices and understand their responsibilities.
Incident Response and Management: We have established robust incident response procedures to address any data privacy breaches promptly and effectively.
ISO 27701 certification is a significant achievement for TrustID. It reaffirms our dedication to data privacy and demonstrates our commitment to protecting personal information. We will continue to strive for excellence in data privacy management and maintain the highest standards of security.
Omon Ilaboya our Information Security & Compliance Manager adds:
“Information Security Management is a high priority at TrustID!
Obtaining ISO 27701:2019 is a fantastic achievement and proves the continuous hard work all employees carry out to protect our clients’ data and information, further increasing the trust in TrustID.”
