ISO 27701 in Glasgow: questions clients ask
Who in Glasgow is most likely to need ISO/IEC 27701?
Two groups stand out: life sciences and clinical research teams, where partners need documented roles and safeguards for personal data, and fintech and digital media companies, where customers and platforms ask processors to evidence privacy controls. It is voluntary unless a customer, tender or regulator makes it a condition.
What does ISO 27701 add for a Glasgow fintech?
It adds privacy-specific requirements to its information security system: records of processing, defined controller or processor responsibilities, rights-request handling and supplier controls. For a fintech selling to banks, that gives due diligence teams an independent reference on privacy, supported by evidence rather than assertions.
