ISO 27701 certification in Quezon City at a glance
UP Diliman publishes a Data Privacy Portal, a small sign of how seriously personal data is taken in Quezon City, and the city's outsourcers handle far more of it for clients abroad. ISO/IEC 27701 is the privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002. It sets controls for controllers and processors: records of processing, data-subject requests, retention, return and deletion, transfers and processor management. The proclaimed IT parks, the campus and the public hospitals each have a reason to use it, from client due diligence to patient confidentiality. It adds to, and does not replace, the Data Privacy Act duties described on the Philippines page. Sterling, served from its Manila office, maps your data flows and roles. An accredited certification body issues the certificate.

ISO 27701 in Quezon City: questions clients ask
What does ISO/IEC 27701 add for a Quezon City outsourcer?
Privacy-specific controls on top of information security: a defined role as processor or controller, records of processing, handling of data-subject requests, retention and return of data, and transfer rules. Clients that outsource personal data to the city's IT parks often ask for exactly this evidence. It supports, but does not replace, legal duties on the Philippines page.
Is ISO/IEC 27701 certified on its own?
It is built as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001, so organisations normally hold or obtain that certificate first or at the same time. The certification body then assesses the privacy information management additions. Ask your body how it schedules a joint assessment so evidence is reused.
