ISO 27701 certification in Hanoi at a glance
Where Hanoi's data lives matters less than who it belongs to. Software and service teams at Hoa Lac process records for clients abroad, and the research tenants planned for the Hanoi Biotech Hi-Tech Park will hold health-related data about individuals. Those clients increasingly ask their processors to show how privacy is managed, beyond a security certificate. ISO 27701 extends an information security system with privacy requirements: roles for controllers and processors, records of processing, handling of requests, transfer controls and breach procedures. It evidences management, not legal compliance, which the Vietnam page covers. Sterling serves Hanoi from its Ho Chi Minh City office and prepares you for an accredited certification body.

Standards Hanoi organisations combine with ISO 27701
ISO 27701 in Hanoi: questions clients ask
Who in Hanoi benefits most from ISO 27701?
Organisations that process personal data on behalf of others, such as software and outsourcing teams in the hi-tech parks, and research or health-related tenants. Their clients ask who sees the data, where it goes and how requests are handled. The standard gives a structured answer that sits on top of an existing security system.
Do I need ISO 27001 before ISO 27701?
In practice, yes: 27701 extends an information security management system with privacy-specific requirements and controls, so it is built on 27001 or implemented alongside it. A Hanoi company starting from nothing can plan both together and audit them at the same time.
