In short

ISO 27701 certification in Chiang Mai at a glance

Chiang Mai University trains doctors, dentists, pharmacists and public health specialists, and its research and clinical units gather personal data that people expect to be handled with care. Next door, digital teams around CMU STeP process customer data on behalf of other organisations. Both ask the same question: how do we show privacy is managed, not just promised? ISO/IEC 27701 extends an ISO 27001 system into a privacy information management system, with separate guidance for controllers and processors on purposes, records of processing, individual requests, transfers and suppliers. It supports compliance but does not substitute for legal advice. Sterling builds it from its Manila office, using any existing security system, and prepares an accredited certification body's audit.

Requirements

What ISO 27701 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO/IEC 27701 requires a company to prove six things about how it handles personal data.

You know whose data you hold and whyYou know what personal data you process, for which purposes and on what basis, and whether you act as controller, processor or both.

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 Chiang Mai: questions clients ask

Which Chiang Mai organisations benefit from ISO 27701?

Research and clinical units that hold sensitive personal data, and software firms processing data for customers. A certificate shows partners that roles, purposes and individual requests are handled through a managed system, and it builds on ISO 27001 where that already exists.

Does ISO 27701 replace PDPA work for a Chiang Mai business?

No. The standard is voluntary and the PDPA is law. The management system organises evidence that supports compliance, but each legal question still needs checking with counsel or the Personal Data Protection Committee, using the country page as the starting point.
