Schellman ISO/IEC 27701 Certification is a professional service offering that provides organizations with certification assessments against the ISO/IEC 27701 standard for privacy information management systems (PIMS). The service is designed for organizations acting as controllers or processors of personally identifiable information (PII) within the context of their information security management system (ISMS). The certification process follows a structured methodology consisting of four phases: Planning, Understanding and Kickoff, Testing and Gathering, and Reporting. During the planning phase, Schellman coordinates with clients to establish project scope, timeline, and objectives. The understanding and kickoff phase initiates the engagement with final preparations and client communication. The testing and gathering phase involves evidence collection and daily stakeholder contact following a no-surprise policy. The reporting phase delivers a draft report within 2 weeks of testing completion and a final report within 30 days. Schellman is accredited by ANAB and UKAS accreditation bodies to perform ISO 27001 certification assessments. The service utilizes a fixed-fee pricing model based on outcome-based assessments, with less than 5% of clients experiencing scope amendments. The company provides dedicated teams with certifications and experience in information technology and audit to conduct the assessments.
