Suzy, Inc. Achieves ISO 27701 Certification, Strengthening Commitment to Privacy and Data Security
June 27 2024 - 9:00AM
Suzy, a leading consumer insights platform, is proud to announce
its successful completion of the ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification,
a prestigious international standard for privacy information
management systems (PIMS). This milestone builds upon Suzy's robust
data security framework established by its previous ISO/IEC
27001:2013 certification and its new ISO/IEC 27001:2022
certification also earned this year.
The ISO 27701 certification underscores Suzy's dedication to
maintaining the highest standards of privacy and data protection
for its clients and stakeholders. As an extension of the ISO 27001
standard, ISO 27701 provides additional requirements and guidance
for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually
improving a privacy information management system.
“Achieving the ISO 27701 certification is a testament to our
unwavering commitment to safeguarding the privacy and personal data
of our clients,” said Matt Britton, CEO of Suzy, Inc. “Building on
the foundation of our ISO 27001 certification, this new achievement
demonstrates our ongoing efforts to enhance our data protection
measures and ensure compliance with global privacy
regulations.”
Suzy first earned its ISO 27001 certification in 2020 and has
consistently maintained and improved its information security
management system (ISMS) through regular audits and updates. The
re-certification of ISO 27001 this year further solidifies Suzy’s
reputation as a trusted partner in the industry, dedicated to
upholding the highest security standards.
The ISO 27701 certification process involved a thorough
assessment of Suzy's privacy management practices, including risk
management, data processing activities, and regulatory compliance.
The audits were conducted by an independent, third-party auditor
accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). This
certification not only strengthens Suzy’s internal processes but
also provides clients with assurance that their data is managed
with the utmost care and in compliance with international privacy
standards.
“With data privacy becoming increasingly crucial in today's
digital landscape, our ISO 27701 certification highlights Suzy's
proactive approach to privacy management,” said Jen Healy, General
Counsel at Suzy, Inc. “We are committed to continuously improving
our practices to protect the information entrusted to us by our
clients.”
Suzy’s ISO 27701 and ISO 27001 achievements were made possible
by the dedicated efforts of its internal audit team, co-led by
Rachel Harris, Deputy General Counsel, and Andrew Kropf, SVP IT
& Security. The team worked diligently to review all necessary
protocols, standards, and evidence. Their work was supported by
Suzy’s Information Security and Privacy Council, which includes
several executive leaders, and contributions from individuals
across the company. This collaborative approach underscores Suzy's
commitment to upholding high standards of data security and privacy
across the organization.
Suzy, Inc. remains dedicated to building trust through use of
the latest data protection practices. This commitment to excellence
in privacy and security will continue to be a cornerstone of Suzy’s
operations as the company grows and evolves.
