ISO 27701 certification in Kochi at a glance
A Kochi games studio decides which player data to collect; a support team two buildings away handles a European retailer's customer records only on instruction. These are different privacy roles, and ISO/IEC 27701 recognises both. It extends an ISO/IEC 27001 system with controls for controllers and for processors: records of processing, lawful basis and consent, data-subject request handling, retention and disposal, cross-border transfers, breach response and processor contracts. Infopark's 582+ companies, as listed in 2026, make the certificate a convenient piece of evidence for overseas clients, and it prepares ground for India's own data law, explained on the India page. Sterling adds the privacy layer to an existing system for assessment by an accredited certification body.

ISO 27701 in Kochi: questions clients ask
Who in Kochi adds ISO/IEC 27701 to an information security system?
App and gaming companies that decide how user data is used, acting as controllers, and service teams that handle clients' data on instruction, acting as processors. The standard extends ISO/IEC 27001 with privacy controls for each role. It supports compliance with privacy laws but does not prove it.
What privacy records does ISO/IEC 27701 expect from a small Kochi firm?
Records of what personal data is processed and why, how consent or another basis is obtained, how access and erasure requests are handled, retention periods and a breach procedure, plus processor agreements. The scale of documentation fits the firm. An accredited certification body checks the controls work in practice.
