What is ISO 27701?

ISO 27701 specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) in the form of an extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 for privacy management within the context of the organization.

It specifies PIMS-related requirements and provides guidance for PII controllers and PII processors holding responsibility and accountability for PII processing.

It applies to all organization’s which are PII controllers and/or PII processors processing PII within an ISMS.

It is a “Requirements and Guidelines” standard. The requirements are shall statements (there are 67 shall statement in the standard) and it is a certifiable standard.

Since this is an extension of ISO 27001 standard it is possible to obtain an ISO 27701 certification only as an extension to ISO 27001 certification. For more info, click here

How You Will Benefit?

  1. ISO 27701 framework translates the regulatory requirements to operational controls. Since privacy relies on security, it was natural to build a privacy framework on the world’s most recognized security standard.
  2. You have too many privacy regulatory requirements to track and comply with. You can map the different regulations to ISO 27701, like the mapping to GDPR done in Annex D of ISO 27701:2019
  3. Auditing against the requirements of various regulations is expensive and time-consuming. Why not have your system certified for ISO 27701, the ISO standard on Privacy
  4. You have signed many data protection addendums with your business partners including partner organizations or co-controllers, processors such as cloud providers, and sub-processors such as vendors who support those same processors. and your vendors have signed as many. You don’t know what are the various technical and organizational measures in each one. Failure to comply with regulations in any part of this network may lead to cascading compliance issues across the supply chain. You should look for verification of compliance beyond the contractual requirements. So, why not look for compliance with an ISO standard.

With more than 15 years of experience in ISO 27001 (consulting, training and assessment) and more than 4 years in BS 10012 and GDPR, we provide practical insights into implementing ISO 27701 in your organization.
