ISO 27701 in Cardiff: questions clients ask
Why would a Cardiff supplier add ISO 27701 to ISO 27001?
Controllers, including public bodies, increasingly ask suppliers for evidence of privacy management, and ISO 27701 provides an auditable system for it. It builds on the ISO 27001 base already in place, so the extra work is the privacy-specific controls and records. Ask the customer to confirm the exact expectation in writing.
Is ISO 27701 proof of UK GDPR compliance for Cardiff firms?
No. It shows a managed privacy system that supports compliance, but legal compliance is judged under national law and by the regulator. The UK page covers the legal treatment. Ask counsel or the Information Commissioner's Office about specific questions. The wording of the contract decides what is actually required.
