In short

ISO 27701 certification in New York at a glance

Once a New York processor has a security certificate, its customers start asking about privacy. Where does the personal data come from, who are the sub-processors, how are deletion requests handled? ISO/IEC 27701 adds a privacy information management layer to ISO/IEC 27001, with separate controls for controllers and processors, and gives the answers a certified shape. Media, marketing technology and health-technology firms in the city are the typical candidates, because they hold data for many other organisations. Sterling's New York office builds the privacy layer on top of the existing system, maps data flows, writes the records of processing and prepares for the accredited certification body's audit. The legal position under state and federal law remains a matter for counsel. Local questions follow.

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 New York: questions clients ask

Can a New York company get ISO/IEC 27701 without ISO/IEC 27001?

In practice it needs an information security management system underneath, because the standard extends ISO/IEC 27001 with privacy requirements for controllers and processors. A New York firm without ISO/IEC 27001 normally builds both together, and the certification body will confirm the exact arrangement at application.

What does ISO/IEC 27701 give a New York data processor?

A structured way to show clients that it follows instructions, controls sub-processors, supports deletion and handles data-subject requests. That evidence shortens privacy questionnaires from advertisers, media groups and health systems. It supports compliance work but is not a legal ruling on any statute.
