Frequently asked questions about ISO/IEC 27701
What's ISO/IEC 27701?
ISO/IEC 27701 is a data privacy extension to ISO 27001 (information security management systems) and ISO/IEC 27002 (information security controls). ISO/IEC 27701 provides a framework for management of data privacy. It assists organizations to establish systems to support compliance with the data protection standards practiced globally.

In addition, Huawei Cloud invites third-party organizations to periodically review its information security management systems based on changing conditions. This enables Huawei Cloud to always stay at the forefront of data privacy protection.

Can my organization become ISO/IEC 27701-certified automatically by using Huawei Cloud?
Although Huawei Cloud has earned ISO/IEC 27701 certification and provides you with secure and reliable cloud services on this basis, using services provided by Huawei Cloud does not certify your organization's compliance with ISO/IEC 27701. ISO/IEC 27701 certification requires us to establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve the data privacy management system of our organizations based on the ISO/IEC 27701 guidelines, standards, and best practices. To assess your own information system and get your organization certified, you can invite an independent third-party certifying body.
