Why ISO 27701 Matters to Your Business

In today’s world, customers, partners and procurement teams expect strong privacy practices. ISO 27701 proves you protect personal data — helping you win trust and close deals faster.

Win More Deals

Show clients you handle personal data responsibly — often a requirement for enterprise, healthcare and government contracts in Australia.

Reduce Privacy Risk

Spot and fix privacy gaps before they become breaches, fines, or reputational damage.

Simplify Future Compliance

One framework covers overlapping needs — Australian Privacy Principles, GDPR, HIPAA — without starting from scratch every time.

Common Privacy Fears We Solve

We help teams overcome the same concerns — unclear obligations, customer pressure, audit delays, and fear of getting it wrong.

“We don’t know where to start”

We map your current processes, identify quick wins, and build a clear privacy roadmap — no guesswork.

“Customers keep asking for proof”

Ready-to-share DPIAs, ROPAs, and rights-handling logs — stored in SharePoint so you answer in minutes, not weeks.

“We’re worried about delays”

Automated workflows and evidence mean procurement gates open faster — no months of back-and-forth.

Controller vs Processor – What It Means for Your Business

ISO 27701 separates privacy responsibilities into two roles: **Controller** and **Processor**. Think of it like a kitchen — one person decides the recipe, the other cooks it.

Controller – You Decide the Recipe

You’re the one who chooses **why** and **how** personal data is collected and used (e.g. customer sign-ups, marketing emails, employee records).

Your key responsibilities:

  • Being transparent with people (privacy notices, consent)
  • Handling customer requests (access, delete, correct data)
  • Deciding when privacy impact assessments (DPIAs) are needed
  • Overseeing third parties who handle data for you

We make this simple — mapping everything in SharePoint so you always have clear, ready-to-share proof when customers or regulators ask.

Processor – You Cook to Instructions

You handle personal data on behalf of someone else (e.g. hosting client data, running payroll for another company, providing cloud services).

Your key responsibilities:

  • Only using data as instructed (written agreements)
  • Keeping it secure and confidential
  • Getting approval before using sub-processors
  • Helping with customer rights requests and breach notifications

We automate these duties in Microsoft 365 — so your contracts, logs, and approvals are always traceable and ready when needed.

Many businesses act as **both** Controller and Processor depending on the service or data type. We clearly map each activity in your ROPA and apply the right rules — so you stay compliant without confusion or extra work.
