Comparing with other certifications

Europrivacy is the only certification scheme officially recognized by the European Union and its member states to internationally certify GDPR compliance, including as a mechanism for data transfers. It provides legal benefits and advantages that non-GDPR certifications cannot. It saves risks and costs, and simplifies compliance.

More on Europrivacy uniqueness

Europrivacy has been designed to be complementary and highly interoperable with ISO 27001 and 27701. While these ISO standards focus on the management system at company level, Europrivacy enables you to certify regulatory compliance with legal effects and advantages under the GDPR. By focussing on specific targets of evaluation, it enables you to certify specific products and services.

These two ISO certifications are recognized by Europrivacy to demonstrate compliance with part of its cybersecurity requirements (T criteria), hence reducing the required audit time and cost.

Both schemes are closely aligned and interoperable : Both use the same methodology, similar criteria, and aim at same level of data protection. As a consequence, it is very easy to move from one to the other, or to combine them in a join certification.
