ISO 27001: Security You Can Rely On

At EDPO, we provide representative services under Article 27 of the GDPR and other digital regulations. To support this role, and to ensure the highest standards of security and accountability, EDPO is certified under ISO 27001:2022, the international standard for information security management systems.

Why ISO 27001 matters for our clients

ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that EDPO has implemented a structured, risk based approach to information security. This means that the personal data entrusted to us is protected through robust controls, documented processes, and continuous oversight.
For our clients, this translates into confidence that their representative operates in line with internationally recognised security and governance standards.

How ISO 27001 strengthens our GDPR representative services

Information security and risk management

We implement strong technical and organisational measures, including access controls, encryption, monitoring, and regular risk assessments. This allows us to identify potential threats early and mitigate risks before they materialise.

Legal and regulatory compliance

ISO 27001 supports our compliance with GDPR and other data protection laws by embedding accountability, documentation, and review mechanisms into our daily operations. We continuously monitor regulatory developments and adapt our processes accordingly.

Operational resilience and continuity

We maintain tested business continuity, backup, and recovery procedures to ensure the confidentiality, availability and integrity of personal data, even in the event of incidents or disruptions.

People and supplier governance

We conduct regular staff training and supplier assessments on data protection and information security. We also apply strict supplier management processes to ensure that the third parties we work with handle our and our clients’ data according to the set security standards.

Trust, accountability, and continuous improvement

EDPO undergoes regular internal and external audits by accredited certification bodies. Through management reviews and continuous improvement processes, we ensure our controls remain effective and aligned with best practices.

What this means in practice

ISO 27001 certification provides our clients with tangible assurances that:
Their personal data is handled securely
Risks are actively managed and documented
Incidents are addressed through clear response procedures
Our representative services are backed by audited security controls

This external recognition reinforces EDPO’s role as a trusted and reliable partner for our clients’ representative needs.

Is ISO 27001 certification required under GDPR?

No. ISO 27001 certification is not a legal requirement under the GDPR.

However, EDPO’s ISO 27001:2022 certification reflects our commitment to high standards of information security, risk management, and accountability. It closely aligns with GDPR principles and provides additional assurance that personal data is handled in a professional and secure manner.
