Qatar: Qatar Post has become the third national organization to obtain the ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification for Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS), marking a milestone in its data protection efforts.

According to Qatar News Agency, the certification recognizes the company's role as both a controller and processor of personal data, and its commitment to safeguarding the privacy of stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, and third parties.

It builds on a range of existing international standards already held by Qatar Post, including ISO 27001, ISO 20000, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 39001, further reinforcing its compliance with global best practices in information security and quality management.

Officials said the achievement reflects ongoing efforts by the company's Information Security Section to strengthen resilience against cyber threats and digital risks.

They added that the certification process was completed entirely by internal teams, including the Personal Information and Privacy Management Working Group, without external support, highlighting what the company described as strong in-house expertise and capability in information security and privacy management.
