Who can apply: All organisations, private or

and processors/intermediaries are eligible to apply.
Features: The ISO/IEC 27701:2019 standard
provides a data privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information
Security Management and ISO/IEC 27002:2013 Security Controls. It
extends their requirements to take into account, in addition to
information security, the protection of privacy of individual
consumers as potentially affected by the processing of personal
data.
