ISO/IEC 27701 for startups. From $2,000.

The privacy certificate a GDPR-exposed software company can actually point to. An ISO 27701 certificate is issued by an independent accredited certification body, never by us. We build the program, the policies and the evidence behind it.

What you get for ISO 27701.

The same platform every framework runs on, pointed at this one: your answers, your evidence, your documents.

Privacy information management systemYour role as controller or processor for each data flow, the privacy objectives, and the controls that apply, assembled into one auditable system.
Record of Processing ActivitiesEvery processing activity with its purpose, legal basis, retention period and recipients, drafted from your answers and kept current as products change.
Privacy policies and rights handlingPrivacy notices, a data subject request procedure, breach notification steps and processor agreements, each mapped to the control it satisfies.

How ISO 27701 runs here.

Four steps, in this order, with the handoff at the end.

  1. Step 1

    Map your data flows in an afternoon

    The intake asks what personal data you hold, where it came from, who you share it with and how long you keep it. Founders finish it in one sitting.

  2. Step 2

    Gap analysis against ISO 27701

    A deterministic analysis scores you against the 2025 edition's requirements and privacy controls, and lists the evidence still missing for each one.

  3. Step 3

    Draft the privacy program and binder

    Policies, the Record of Processing Activities and rights procedures are drafted from your answers. You review, edit and attach evidence into a single binder.

  4. Step 4

    Certify with an accredited body

    An accredited certification body, arranged through partner firms, audits the system in Stage 1 and Stage 2 and issues the ISO 27701 certificate.

What ISO 27701 costs.

Published where it can be published, and arranged with the firm that signs it where it cannot.

$2,000 one time for platform onboarding.

That is the intake, the gap analysis, your policies, the evidence binder and the handoff package.

An ISO 27701 certificate is arranged with an independent accredited certification body and quoted before it begins.

Since the 2025 edition, ISO 27701 can be certified on its own. The certificate is issued only by an accredited certification body arranged through partner firms; Polara Labs prepares the program and is never the body.

Polara Labs is not a certification body. Certification audits are performed by independent accredited certification bodies.

ISO 27701 questions.

What buyers ask, and what the work actually involves.

Platform onboarding starts at $2,000 and covers the gap analysis, privacy policies, Record of Processing Activities and evidence binder. The certification body's audits are arranged through partner firms and priced separately.
No. GDPR has no general certificate. ISO 27701 is an accredited privacy management certificate that maps closely to GDPR obligations, which is why buyers accept it as evidence of a working privacy program.
Not anymore. Since the 2025 edition ISO 27701 stands on its own, so you can certify privacy management without holding ISO 27001. Companies that have both usually scope them together to share one audit cycle.
No. Only an accredited certification body can issue an ISO 27701 certificate, and it has to be independent of the people who prepared you. We build the program and the evidence; the body audits it.

Unblock the deal.

Polara Labs builds both sides of the audit: the readiness platform startups use to earn a SOC 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate or whatever their buyers ask for, and the practice OS audit firms use to run the examination. Every price is published on the page it belongs to.
