Privacy Information Management and ISO/IEC 27701

At Risk Associates, we understand its importance as it provides a structured approach to managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and ensuring information privacy in the organization. This standard sets forth various requirements for establishing, controlling, maintaining, and continuously improving the Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

A Seamless Process with RA

At Risk Associates, we understand that protecting personal information is not just a compliance checkbox it's a commitment to trust and responsibility.

Initial Meeting and Objective Definition

Our journey together begins with a conversation. In this phase, you share insights about your company, your management system, and your ISO/IEC 27701 certification goals. Based on this discussion, you will promptly receive a detailed and transparent offer tailored to your unique needs. We believe in aligning our services with your objectives from the outset.

Project Planning and Pre-Audit (Optional)

For larger certification projects, a planning meeting becomes invaluable. This is an opportunity to get acquainted with your auditor, develop a customized audit program for all involved areas and locations, and identify areas of improvement and strengths in your management system. While this step is optional, it often proves beneficial for organizations seeking comprehensive insight.

Stage 1 and 2 Certification Audit

The heart of the certification process comprises two essential stages.
In Stage 1
our expert auditor initiates a system analysis, evaluating the organization’s documentation, objectives, management review results, and internal audits. This step helps us determine if your management system is sufficiently developed and poised for certification.
In Stage 2
The appointed auditor assesses the effectiveness of all management processes on-site. They dive deep into your operations, ensuring that every aspect aligns with ISO/IEC 27701 requirements. Following this comprehensive evaluation, your auditor will present you with a detailed report, highlighting results and offering insights for potential improvements.

System Evaluation and Certification

Following the successful certification audit, an assessment of the organization's management system is conducted. The result is a report that details the organization's adherence to ISO/IEC 27701. If all standard requirements are met, the organization will be awarded the esteemed ISO 27701 certificate, a testament to its dedication to data protection.

Surveillance Audits

To preserve the integrity of the ISO/IEC 27701 certification, surveillance audits are conducted annually. These audits ascertain that the organization maintains compliance with the essential ISO/IEC 27701 requirements. This ongoing assistance plays a pivotal role in the ongoing enhancement of the data protection management system and overall business processes.

Recertification

The ISO/IEC 27701 certification has a maximum validity of three years. As the expiration date nears, the recertification process is set in motion to ensure the organization's ongoing alignment with the relevant standard requirements. Successful recertification results in the issuance of a new certificate, reaffirming the commitment to personal information management System.
