ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management Certification
ISO 27701 extends information security into privacy management, showing customers that personal data is handled responsibly. It's a strong fit for SaaS, IT services, healthcare and BPO companies that process personal data for clients. Vakil Labs implements ISO 27701 alongside ISO 27001 and India's DPDP Act.
As a legal team, we draft the privacy notices, DPAs and records of processing that a privacy audit examines. Certification audits are arranged through our tie-up with Veritas International (a JAS Global Certifications brand). The certificate itself is issued by the certification body after its independent audit.
ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management Certification Over View
An ISO 27701 project maps how personal data moves through your business: collection, processing, sharing, storage, retention and deletion. We then set up the privacy controls, roles and records, whether you act as a data controller, a processor or both. Because privacy is also a legal matter, the same work supports DPDP Act 2023 compliance and customer data processing agreements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need ISO 27001 before ISO 27701?
Traditionally ISO 27701 was an extension of ISO 27001, so most companies implement both together. We'll advise on the right route for your certification body and scope.
Does ISO 27701 make us DPDP Act compliant?
Not automatically, but it covers much of the ground. We map the ISO 27701 controls to DPDP Act obligations and fill the gaps, such as notices and consent.
Who asks for ISO 27701?
Mainly enterprise and international customers who want assurance that a vendor handles personal data properly, especially in IT, SaaS, healthcare and outsourcing.
How long does it take?
If ISO 27001 is already in place, adding ISO 27701 usually takes 6 to 10 weeks. Doing both together takes about 14 to 20 weeks.
