ISO 27701:2019
Privacy Information Management System
Standard brief
The ISO/IEC 27701 is an extension of the ISO 27001, specifically designed for enhanced privacy management. This standard establishes guidelines for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a privacy information management system (PIMS). It integrated privacy best practices into an organization’s policies and processes, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive data. It is a structured framework that offers guidance for protecting the personally identifiable information (PII). This framework ensures compliance with global data privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA. By implementing this standard, an organization can demonstrate its commitment to maintaining a secure privacy management structure. Further, it fosters responsibility and accountability in processing and managing PII.
