spektr Earns ISO 27701 Certification for Data Privacy Completing the ISO Trifecta

With this milestone, spektr joins an elite group of fewer than 100 companies globally to secure the complete ISO Trifecta, an aggregate of management system certifications extending to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for data privacy, and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for responsible AI governance.

This most recent award extends the existing integrated management system (IMS) operated and maintained by spektr to include ISO 27701 certification with a focus on privacy objectives and the implementation of a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) with alignment to several global regulations, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

Previously, spektr was awarded ISO 27001 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS) in July 2024 and ISO 42001 certification for its Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) in October 2024. The latter of these achievements was a first among any organization in Denmark and, as of this announcement, only four Danish companies have earned accredited certification for ISO 42001.

In parallel to this new certificate issuance, our existing ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications have been successfully continued under our IMS scope, as confirmed and decided by Mastermind, a management systems certification body accredited by the International Accreditation Service. 

To highlight what this means for our platform and our clients, we sat down with Grace Sun, our Head of Compliance, who led the team through this comprehensive audit process.

Elevating Data Privacy and Governance Standards

With global data privacy regulations tightening and data volumes scaling rapidly, strong privacy management is no longer optional. ISO 27701 acts as a direct extension to ISO 27001, establishing a dedicated PIMS to strengthen how personal data is governed, protected, and processed in line with obligations.

Grace shared her perspective on what completing this trifecta means for the platform:

"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." — Grace Sun, Head of Compliance, spektr.

By integrating ISO 27701 into our core framework, spektr maps its operations to a strict set of global privacy controls. This setup covers clear data governance, precise processing limits, and continuous risk monitoring. For a modern compliance platform, this level of independent verification is an important trust signal for regulated clients.

What This Means for Our Clients

Achieving the ISO Trifecta is, ultimately, about giving our clients complete peace of mind. When you scale your operations on spektr, you need to know that your data privacy, information security, and AI governance are validated by independent, third-party experts.

Quote from Mastermind

"spektr is among a select group of service providers proactively advancing security, accountability, and transparency across virtually every data interaction within its platform ecosystem.  With this latest certification, the company has rounded out a governance program that not only mitigates key modern risk categories but also anticipates requirements tied to emerging regulations ahead of upcoming enforcement deadlines.” — David Forman, CEO, Mastermind

Our auditors noted that expanding our existing management systems to include privacy information management was a natural progression. Because secure engineering and data privacy principles were embedded into spektr by design from day one, our infrastructure was already positioned to meet these advanced requirements.

Looking Ahead

We will continue to refine our platform and enhance our controls to ensure we consistently outpace industry expectations. Our clients deserve a solution that is both highly innovative and strictly governed, and we are committed to delivering exactly that.

A huge thank you to Grace Sun and everyone on the team who contributed to the audit preparation, documentation, and ongoing implementation of these vital controls.
