Decision questions

Questions buyers ask before starting

Is this legal advice?

No. The service focuses on security governance, technical and organizational measures, evidence, and operational risk. Legal interpretation should be confirmed with qualified privacy counsel when required.

Can privacy and ISO 27001 be aligned?

Yes. Identity, access, vendor management, incident response, risk, asset/data governance, and evidence can often be governed together while preserving privacy-specific legal obligations.
