In short

ISO 27701 certification in Los Angeles at a glance

Privacy promises are easy to write and hard to prove, which is where ISO/IEC 27701 helps Los Angeles organisations. Retailers, brands and online sellers whose goods arrive through the Port of Los Angeles keep customer records, and studios, health providers and agencies handle audience and patient information. The standard extends an ISO/IEC 27001 system into privacy information management, with roles for controllers and processors, purposes and lawful handling, individual requests and supplier oversight. Clients get a structure that also supports California's CCPA and CPRA duties, without being a substitute for legal compliance. Sterling builds the extension from its New York office, and an accredited certification body audits it alongside ISO/IEC 27001.

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 Los Angeles: questions clients ask

What does ISO/IEC 27701 add to ISO/IEC 27001?

It adds privacy information management: controls and guidance for controllers and processors on purposes, consent, individual rights and processor relationships. It extends an information security system, so Los Angeles organisations that already hold ISO/IEC 27001 get a clear head start and avoid building a second framework.

Does ISO/IEC 27701 prove compliance with California law?

No. It shows a documented privacy management system, but compliance with CCPA and CPRA is a legal question for each business, which counsel should confirm. The standard can still organise the data map, requests process and supplier controls that California compliance relies on.
