ISO 27701 Privacy Management

ISO 27701 Privacy Management focuses on the systematic protection of personal data within an organisation, including measures to comply with privacy legislation and safeguard individual privacy rights.

The ISO 27701 standard is an extension of the ISO 27001 information security standard. It provides a framework to demonstrate that your organisation effectively manages personal data protection and meets the requirements of the GDPR.

Why comply with ISO 27701?

Many companies process personal data classified as privacy-sensitive informationā€”something that will likely increase in the coming years. The 27701 standard provides clear guidance for protecting personal data and supports compliance with privacy regulations. As privacy becomes more important to consumers and clients, ISO 27701 offers a way to demonstrate that your management system is designed to meet legal requirements related to data protection.

Privacy Information Management System (PIMS)

The ISO 27701 standard offers concrete tools for expanding an Information Security Management System (ISMS) into a Privacy Information Management System. It introduces additional controls focused on personal data across all components of the ISMS. If your organisation is already certified to ISO 27001 or NEN 7510, implementing the necessary additions from ISO 27701 is relatively straightforward.

Key benefits of a PIMS

Increased reliability

You can demonstrate that your organisation complies with applicable privacy laws.

Building trust

It builds trust in how your organisation handles and manages personal information.

Preventing data breaches

It enhances internal capabilities and processes to prevent data breaches.

Clarifying responsibilities

It defines roles and responsibilities across the organisation more clearly.

Five steps to ISO 27701 certification

A typical ISO 27701 certification process follows these steps:

  1. Intake ā€“ identifying your needs and how we can help.
  2. Gap analysis ā€“ assessing your current situation and defining the target state.
  3. Action plan ā€“ a tailored plan outlining the steps needed to meet all requirements.
  4. Implementation ā€“ execution of the plan, with optional support from our consultants.
  5. Audit ā€“ we conduct the internal audits and can support you during the external audit.

Certification! Once the external audit is successfully completed, youā€™ll receive your official ISO 27701 certificate from the certification body. A moment worth celebrating!

Support with ISO 27701 implementation

ISO 27701 is an extension of ISO 27001. To implement it, your organisation must also meet the requirements of ISO 27001. We can support you in achieving both certifications. No jargon, no thick manualsā€”just clear communication and practical documentation.

If your organisation is not yet ISO 27001 certified, we will integrate that standard into the project. Our consultants provide the right advice, guidance, and execution for all your privacy and information security questions. Together, weā€™ll develop the necessary (policy) documentation and make sure your organisation is fully ready for certification.
