About this service

About this certification: This certificate is issued by a non-IAF-accredited certification body (such as IAS, UAF or ASCB). An IAF-accredited certificate requires a body accredited by a national accreditation body under the International Accreditation Forum framework. A different and costlier certification path. The non-IAF certificate is valid for the same 3-year period. Accepted by most domestic buyers and government authorities in India.

Privacy Information Management (ISO 27701:2019) extends ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 for organisations that process Personal Identifiable Information. It adds requirements for PII controllers. It adds requirements for PII processors under privacy laws like DPDPA 2023. For companies in Gujarat with any customer or employee database — almost every business — ISO 27701 gives you a structured privacy management framework. Fintech companies in GIFT City handling KYC data are PII processors under DPDPA. HR tech companies in Ahmedabad with employee records are PII processors under DPDPA. E-commerce platforms delivering to Gujarat addresses are PII processors under DPDPA. The standard adds requirements for privacy notices. It adds requirements for consent records. It adds requirements for PII data share agreements. It adds requirements for breach notification procedures. For businesses dealing with cross-border data transfers — for example, a BPO in Surat processing EU customer data — ISO 27701 maps to GDPR Article 28 processor requirements. FinTax24 helps organisations implement ISO 27701 as an extension of their existing or new ISO 27001 ISMS. It specifically addresses DPDPA 2023 obligations.
