Taipei, TAIWAN – April 22, 2025 – CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a pioneer in AI and facial recognition technologies, today announced that its FaceMe facial recognition platform has achieved compliance with the international ISO/IEC 27701:2019 standard. Tested by NIST and top ranked globally, the FaceMe facial recognition engine delivers highly accurate biometric identity verification, now backed by an internationally recognized privacy framework.
ISO 27701 Certification Demonstrates FaceMe AI Facial Recognition’s Commitment to Enhancing User Privacy
In 2024, FaceMe achieved ISO 27001 certification, an internationally recognized standard for information security. This certification establishes a comprehensive framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical, and technical controls, regulating information security management systems.
Furthering their commitment to information security, FaceMe has now achieved ISO 27701 certification. An extension of ISO 27001, ISO 27701 outlines the requirements for creating a privacy information management system (PIMS). The requirements surrounding ISO 27701 are focused on managing and protect personally identifiable information (PII).
By achieving ISO 27701 certification, along with already being GDPR compliant, FaceMe further demonstrates its commitment to safeguarding user privacy and aligning with globally recognized data protection standards.
Advancing AI Facial Recognition While Safeguarding Personal Data
As stated, ISO 27701 is an extension of ISO 27001, with both falling under the ISO 27000 group of standards that are designed to protect critical information. However, they serve different functions. Where ISO 27001 focuses on information security, ISO 27701 deals with user privacy rights to protect consumers and adhere to worldwide privacy laws.
As a facial recognition provider, following the ISO 27701 global framework for privacy protection and processing of personally identifiable information instills a high level of confidence and trust for FaceMe customers. It demonstrates to clients and partners that FaceMe is undoubtedly committed to data privacy and security.
Our Pledge to Privacy
“FaceMe understands that providing the best facial recognition experience for users is also incumbent upon ensuring data privacy.,” said Mei Guu, President of CyberLink Business Unit 2. “Achieving ISO 27701 certification demonstrates FaceMe’s commitment to guarding user data by following and upholding the guidelines designed to safeguard privacy rights of personally identifiable information.”
