ISO 27701 – Extending the Work of ISO 27001 With Emphasis on Privacy

Reduce the risk of privacy regulation violations

ISO 27701 provides a framework for organizations who are looking to implement a system to support compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) among other data privacy requirements. The ISO 27701 standard outlines a framework for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Controllers and Processors to successfully manage an organization’s data privacy.

Implementation of ISO 27701 can both enhance an organization’s privacy compliance while reducing the risk of the privacy regulation violations, all while utilizing an existing ISO management system approach. Utilizing a PIMS under ISO 27701 is an excellent way to show customers that the organization takes conformity with the GDPR and other related privacy legislation seriously and has the proper systems in place to support this compliance.  

ISO 27001 provides a dedicated framework for an ISMS which then enables continual availability, confidentiality, and integrity coupled with legal compliance.
