FAQ
If you’re already ISO 27001 certified, preparation typically takes 40–80 hours. The full certification process—including Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits—usually takes 8–16 weeks. If you’re starting from scratch, expect 6–12 months to build and validate your privacy program.
ISO 27701 maps directly to GDPR requirements like data subject rights, lawful processing, and accountability. It gives you a structured, auditable way to demonstrate compliance. That makes it easier to prove your practices to regulators and build trust with customers.
Not anymore. ISO 27701:2025 is a standalone standard, so you can get certified without ISO 27001. That said, many organizations still pursue both together to streamline audits and reduce duplicate work. Check with your auditor on the best approach.
Vanta replaces spreadsheets with built-in ROPA management, so you can track processing activities, data categories, and processors in one place. You can also run DPIAs with approval workflows and link them to your risk register, giving you a complete view of privacy risks and decisions.
Vanta supports both roles by mapping controls to Annex A (controllers) and Annex B (processors). You can scope your program based on your responsibilities and manage everything through a single system. This helps ensure nothing falls through the cracks during audits.
Yes. Vanta connects you with a network of accredited ISO auditors and consulting partners. Many offer bundled audits for ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, often at preferred rates, so you can move faster and avoid sourcing vendors on your own.
