ISO 27701 certification in Ho Chi Minh City at a glance
Handling personal data for someone else is the daily work of many firms around Quang Trung Software City: outsourcing, software development, data hosting and digital services for customers at home and abroad. ISO/IEC 27701 extends an ISO 27001 information security system with a privacy information management system: controls for processors and controllers, records of processing, data subject requests, transfers and breach handling. It gives a processor a structured answer to client due-diligence questions about privacy. Vietnam's Law on Personal Data Protection is explained on the country page, and this standard does not replace legal advice. Sterling's Ho Chi Minh City office maps your processing, extends your existing system and prepares the accredited certification body's audit.

ISO 27701 in Ho Chi Minh City: questions clients ask
Why do Ho Chi Minh City outsourcers look at ISO 27701?
Because they process personal data on behalf of clients, and clients send due-diligence questions about roles, records, transfers and breach handling. ISO/IEC 27701 answers them in an auditable form, on top of an information security system. It does not decide legal questions, so counsel should still confirm how the national data protection law applies to your processing.
Do I need ISO 27001 before ISO 27701?
In practice, yes. ISO/IEC 27701 is built as an extension of an information security management system, so organisations normally have ISO 27001 in place or implement both together. That is common for providers who already hold the larger system and now need to show how personal data is handled, which tells the project where to start.
