spektr has secured ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification for data privacy, completing a trio of management system accreditations held by fewer than 100 firms worldwide.
The so-called ISO Trifecta combines ISO/IEC 27001:2022 covering information security, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for privacy, and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 governing responsible AI. The new privacy award broadens spektr’s integrated management system (IMS) to include a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), designed to align with major international rules such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
The firm’s journey towards the full set began in July 2024, when it gained ISO 27001 recognition for its Information Security Management System, followed three months later by ISO 42001 accreditation for its Artificial Intelligence Management System.
That AI certification was a national first, and to date only four companies in Denmark hold accredited ISO 42001 status. Alongside the fresh privacy certificate, both earlier certifications were renewed under the wider IMS scope by Mastermind, a certification body accredited by the International Accreditation Service.
As privacy legislation tightens globally and data volumes grow, ISO 27701 functions as an extension of ISO 27001, formalising how personal information is governed, safeguarded and processed. By embedding the standard into its central framework, spektr aligns its operations with rigorous international privacy controls spanning data governance, defined processing boundaries and ongoing risk monitoring, an independent trust marker for regulated customers.
spektr operates a modern compliance platform, and the company stated that clients scaling their operations on it benefit from third-party validation across data privacy, information security and AI governance. Its auditors observed that extending existing systems to privacy management was a logical step, as secure engineering and privacy principles were built into the platform from its inception. The firm added it will keep strengthening its controls to stay ahead of industry expectations.
spektr head of compliance Grace Sun said, “Securing the ISO 27701 certification alongside our security and AI standards demonstrates our commitment to privacy information management. It provides independent assurance that privacy and security controls are embedded into the way we design, operate, and improve the spektr platform, giving our users greater assurance that their data is managed responsibly at every single step.”
