Latest Certification in the ISO 27000 Series Demonstrates Commitment to Highest Standards of Privacy and Information Security
New York – Duff & Phelps, the world’s premier provider of governance, risk and transparency solutions, today announced that it has successfully achieved ISO/IEC 27701, the most widely recognized and internationally accepted privacy information and security standard. This certification is the latest addition to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification, with prior certifications including ISO/IEC 27001. Duff & Phelps is among the first companies globally to earn this certification with accreditation.

It provides a framework for privacy information management systems to help companies fine-tune their data privacy practices and keep pace with the changing privacy threat and regulatory landscape. In addition, it provides guidance for organizations to implement systems to support compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other data privacy requirements.
