Video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider Dahua Technology recently announced that it has obtained ISO/IEC 27701 Certificate from British Standards Institution (BSI).

Formed in 1901, BSI was the world’s first National Standards Body. Representing UK interests at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the European Standards Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI), BSI aims help improve the quality and safety of products, services and systems by enabling the creation of standards and encouraging their use.

ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension to the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management and ISO/IEC 27001 Security Controls. As an international management system standard, it provides guidance on the protection of privacy, including how organisations should manage personal information, and assists in demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations around the world.
