INFORMATION PRIVACY MANAGEMENT (LGPD)

ISO/IEC 27701 is the leading international standard for implementing a management system for information security. It focuses on identifying, assessing and managing the risks of information handling processes and all hardware and software infrastructure supporting companies’ technology operations. Annex A of ISO 27701 has a catalogue of 114 security controls, which the organization must select according to applicability.

With ISO 27701, you can demonstrate to customers and prospects, suppliers and shareholders the integrity of your data and systems, as well as your commitment to information security. Certifying your information system can also lead to new business opportunities with security-conscious customers,strengthen the notion of confidentiality throughout the workplace, and increase employee ethics. Certification also allows it to strengthen information security and reduce potential risks of fraud, information loss, and breach of confidentiality.

General objectives:

Identify good Information Security practices;
Support the implementation of an Information Security Management System;
Assess vulnerabilities, threats and risks;
Evaluate the potential benefits of an Information Security certification;
Actively participate in audit activities related to Information Security;
Manage an audit program, plan and conduct internal audit activities for the Quality Management System with added value.

Target:

Employees of organizations that are or intend to be auditors, and/or will be conducting internal audits in Information Security Management systems, in accordance with ISO27701;
Professionals who intend to work as Internal Auditors of Information Security Management systems;
Internal auditors of Information Security Management systems who wish to update their knowledge.

Four fundamental benefits of implementing ISO 27701

1. Compliance

It may seem strange to list compliance as the first benefit, but it often shows the fastest “return on investment”: if an organization needs to comply with various regulations on data protection, privacy, and IT governance (especially if it is a financial, healthcare, or government organization), ISO 27701 can provide the methodology that will allow it to do so in the most efficient way.

2. Market advantage

In a market that is increasingly competitive, it is sometimes very difficult to find something that will differentiate you in the eyes of customers. ISO 27701 can indeed be an unparalleled selling point, especially if you handle sensitive customer information.

3. Reduction of expenses

Information security is generally considered as a cost with no apparent financial gain. However, there is financial gain if you reduce the expenses caused by incidents. You probably have service interruptions, or occasional data leaks, or disgruntled employees. Or disgruntled former employees.

The truth is that there is still no methodology and/or technology to calculate how much money you could save if you prevented these incidents. But it is always good to draw management’s attention to such cases.

4. Company organisation

This is probably the most underestimated point – if your company has been growing sharply in recent years, you may have problems such as: who has to decide what, who is responsible for certain information assets, who has to authorize access to information systems, etc.
