ISO 27701 Certification: Privacy Information Management
Demonstrate your commitment to proactively manage and protect personal information in line with legal requirements.
ISO/IEC 27701 is designed to help organizations of all sizes manage personally identifiable information (PII) responsibly and aids compliance with GDPR regulations. The updated standard marks a milestone in global data privacy.
What is ISO/IEC 27701
ISO/IEC 27701 has now become a stand-alone standard aimed at further strengthening privacy information management systems (PIMS) for organizations worldwide rather than being an extension of ISO/IEC 27001.
It assists organizations to establish systems to support compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other data privacy requirements but as a global standard, it is not GDPR specific.
Benefits of becoming certified
The standard takes a comprehensive approach to privacy information management and permits organizations to meet personal information protection requirements.
ISO/IEC 27701 will help:
- Clarify the roles and responsibilities within your organization.
- Build trust in your company’s ability to manage personal information, both for customers and employees.
- Aligns with global regulations like GDPR, and other applicable privacy regulations..
- Facilitate agreements with business partners where the processing of PII is mutually relevant.
