Hypernet Technologies held a Meet Eat Inspire (MENS) event themed ‘ISO 27001 Extension ISO 27701’ at Habitate Jakarta on Thursday (20/6/2024). This discussion on Meet Eat Inspire (MENS) is the second part of the last May meeting under the theme “How ISO 27001 is important in Digital Era?”.
Discussing the application of ISO 27701 in the company, the presentation was given by Lead Auditor & Implementor Hypernet Technologies Wisnu Aji. In this second part, Wisnu explained that ISO 27701 is a subsidiary of ISO 27001. Companies must obtain ISO 27001 prior to obtaining ISO 27701 certification.
There are several benefits that companies get if they implement ISO 27701. One benefit is that it strengthens the company’s standing as a trustworthy and accountable entity for handling personal data. This can also be an added point that makes the company stand out by showing commitment to data security.
In addition to improving reputation and trust in the company, according to Wisnu, the implementation of ISO 27701 is also important to help companies comply with Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) which will officially take effect in October 2024.
By implementing ISO 27701, which focuses on the Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), the company has also committed to complying with the PDP Law. The implementation of ISO 27701 has shown that the company has a reliable system in handling digital security threats, especially in the aspect of personal data protection.
“This October 17, it is mandatory for companies to implement the PDP Law. With ISO 27701, companies have actually committed to implementing the law, because it is included in Clauses 7 and 8 of ISO 27701,” said Wisnu.
After being passed in 2022, the PDP Law is presently in its transitional phase, ending in October 2024. This transition period offers companies that process data the opportunity to start implementing and ensuring that all personal data processing processes are carried out in accordance with applicable laws.
Wisnu also reminded companies to immediately implement the PDP Law. Because after the transition period is over, companies that do not comply with applicable regulations may be subject to administrative sanctions, administrative fines of a maximum of two percent of annual revenue, criminal sanctions, and corporate dissolution.
Therefore, the implementation of ISO 27701 can also be a step for companies to start implementing the Personal Data Protection Law. Hypernet Technologies can provide services to help and assist companies in implementing ISO 27701 along with the PDP Law.
