ISO/IEC 27701:2019

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is an international standard which extends the scope of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 to privacy information management. It provides a framework for an organization to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that enables organizations to effectively manage privacy controls to mitigate the risk for individuals' privacy rights.

Key features of ISO/IEC 27701:

• Simplified Compliance with Privacy Laws: The standard provides a systematic method to control privacy requirements, promoting regulatory compliance with regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection laws.
• Improved Governance and Risk Management: When the PIMS is appropriately conducted, it ensures that you are actively complying with laws and internal policies, which could satisfy stakeholders.
• Improved Accountability & Trust: Certification to ISO/IEC 27701 shows that a business cares about data protection and thus increases confidence with customers, partners, and auditors alike.
