Certification is essentially "don't fuck up or we'll fine you to death" with extra steps. Especially because it mostly comes down to the company self-verifying (auditors mostly just verify you are following whatever you say you are following, not that its a good idea).

Its not like anyone intentionally posts their entire DB to the internet.



Those extra steps help insult from penalties and lawsuits in a lot of cases.
