In short

ISO 27701 certification in Bangkok at a glance

Privacy is easier to promise than to prove. In Bangkok, hospital units with clinical research files and software firms that process their customers' personal data are both asked to demonstrate how personal information is mapped, protected and handled when someone asks about it. ISO/IEC 27701 extends an ISO 27001 system into a privacy information management system, with separate guidance for organisations acting as controllers and as processors, covering purposes, records of processing, individual requests, transfers and supplier arrangements. It does not replace legal advice, but it gives a structure that supports compliance work. Sterling serves Bangkok from its Manila office, builds on any existing security system, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit.

Requirements

Privacy has an ownerManagement assigns responsibility for privacy and sets objectives, so everyone who handles personal data knows their role.
You assessed the privacy risksRisks to the people whose data you process are assessed and treated, including when new products and processes are designed.
People can exercise their rightsRequests to access, correct or delete data, and other individual rights, run through a defined and timely process.
Sharing and suppliers are controlledDisclosures, transfers and processors are governed by agreements and checks, so data is used only as agreed.
You can demonstrate itRecords of processing, notices and decisions are kept, and the privacy system is audited and reviewed like any management system.

ISO 27701 in Bangkok: questions clients ask

Who in Bangkok benefits most from ISO 27701?

Hospital and research units that hold patient or participant data, and software firms that process personal data on behalf of customers. Both are asked for evidence of privacy management, and a certificate on top of ISO 27001 answers many requests at once.

Is ISO 27701 the same as complying with Thailand's PDPA?

No. ISO 27701 is a voluntary management standard, and the PDPA is a law. A privacy management system helps organise the evidence a regulator or customer may ask for, but legal duties must still be checked against the statute with counsel or the Personal Data Protection Committee.
