To celebrate today’s international Data Protection Day, we proudly present our new ISO/IEC 27701 privacy certificate from TÜV Trust IT GmbH TÜV Austria Group. Whereas the ISO/IEC 27001 certificate provides a baseline security for our ReadID customers, our new ISO/IEC 27701 certificate brings it to a next level by adding data privacy specific extensions to it. This makes us unique in the industry and underlines our continuous efforts to ensure trusted identity verification.
Privacy is a key aspect of our product ReadID, as our solutions have access to many millions of identity documents. We take our responsibility for the privacy of the holders of these documents very seriously. The external and independent audit by TÜV Trust IT has shown that we are in control of the privacy aspects of our solutions, beyond what a standard ISO/EIC 27001 audit requires.
“Our new ISO/IEC 27701 privacy certificate underlines our continuous efforts to ensure trusted identity verification”
Inverid’s ISO/IEC 27701 certification demonstrates that we have established and implemented an effective Privacy Information Management System in the form of an extension to our ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System. This means that we have all the required security and privacy controls in place to securely process personal data as a controller and processor.
Privacy controls are laid down in our personal data processing policy and include for example encryption of all data in transit and at rest, strict rules on data retention, and comprehensive logging and monitoring. For customers in the European Economic Area all data will be processed on servers within that area.
The new certificate helps Inverid and our customers to be compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
