spektr has secured ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification for data privacy, completing what is known as the ISO Trifecta and placing it among fewer than 100 companies worldwide to hold all three management system certifications.
The trifecta comprises ISO/IEC 27001:2022 covering information security, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 covering data privacy, and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 covering responsible AI governance. The newest certificate broadens spektr’s integrated management system (IMS) to encompass a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), built to align with major global regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The company’s certification journey began in July 2024, when it achieved ISO 27001 for its Information Security Management System, followed in October 2024 by ISO 42001 for its Artificial Intelligence Management System. That AI governance award made spektr the first organisation in Denmark to hold the accreditation, and even now only four Danish firms have earned it. Alongside the latest issuance, both earlier certifications were renewed under the company’s IMS scope by Mastermind, a certification body accredited by the International Accreditation Service.
The firm said the ISO 27701 framework acts as a direct extension of ISO 27001, embedding governance over how personal data is handled, safeguarded and processed. By weaving the standard into its core framework, spektr maps its operations against a strict set of global privacy controls spanning data governance, defined processing limits and ongoing risk monitoring, a level of independent verification it views as a key trust signal for regulated clients.
spektr operates a compliance platform on which clients scale their operations, with privacy, security and AI governance validated by independent third-party experts. According to the company, auditors observed that extending its management systems into privacy information management was a natural step, since secure engineering and privacy principles were built into the platform from the outset. Looking ahead, spektr said it will keep refining 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.”
