ISO 27701 certification in Enschede at a glance
Privacy questions come faster than privacy staff in a young technology company. A MedTech Twente team working with healthcare institutions, or a software start-up processing customer data, is asked who the controller is, where data goes, how long it is kept and how individuals' requests are handled. ISO 27701 provides the structure: roles, a data map, lawful-basis records, retention and deletion rules, processor and transfer controls and privacy risk assessment, built on an ISO 27001 system. An accredited certification body certifies the result. Sterling's Enschede office helps teams add the privacy layer without duplicating existing security work, and records everything in Effivity. It supports GDPR work but does not by itself prove legal compliance.

ISO 27701 in Enschede: questions clients ask
Is ISO 27701 sensible for an Enschede start-up that acts as a processor?
Often, once customers start asking for privacy evidence in due diligence. It documents processor controls in a form that buyers recognise, and it builds on ISO 27001, so the effort is shared. Very early teams may first implement a lighter privacy programme and certify later on.
What does ISO 27701 add for medical technology teams?
It makes roles, data flows and retention rules explicit across the institutions and suppliers involved, which reduces disputes and speeds up partner due diligence. It does not decide what the health-data rules require of you; confirm those with your counsel or the competent authority.
