This week, Taiwanese consumer electronics firm HTC VIVE announced updates its security and privacy policies so that organisations using its solutions can responsibly protect user data as well as personally identifiable information (PII).
Due to privacy and security updates, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) granted the tech firm ISO27001 and ISO27701 certifications.
The ISO is an independent and non-governmental international organisation that develops standards to support ethical technological innovation. Both certifications recognise the strides that HTC VIVE is taking to protect large groups of its users.
The Taoyuan City-based firm underwent an ISO expert evaluation of its approach to protecting employee and client information, leading to the ISO 27001 certification.
In addition, the ISO awarded HTC VIVE with an accompanying ISO 27701 certificate that recognises the firm’s compliance with European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines.
