ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management System
Rapid technological developments and globalisation are creating new challenges for the protection of personal data. Not only the collection and exchange of personal data between public and private actors, individuals, associations and companies has increased significantly, but also the cross-border flow of personal data.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires organisations to take measures to ensure that personal data are processed lawfully, fairly and in a manner which is transparent to the data subject, to ensure adequate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. However, the Regulation does not provide precise guidance on how these measures are to be put in place.

What is ISO/IEC 27701?
ISO/IEC 27701, or the Privacy Information Management System, is an extension of the well-established ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 standards. The standard specifies requirements and provides guidelines for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of PIMS. It is important to note that ISO 27701 certification can only be obtained in conjunction with ISO 27001 certification. This means that organisations must already have, or be simultaneously implementing and certifying, an Information Security Management System in accordance with the requirements of ISO 27001.
Why certify according to ISO 27701?
Firstly, it helps companies comply with international data protection requirements such as the GDPR. It reduces the legal and financial risks associated with data breaches. Certification demonstrates that a company carefully manages personal data and has put in place effective procedures to ensure data security and privacy protection.
Secondly, ISO 27701 certification builds trust among customers, partners and other stakeholders by demonstrating a responsible and transparent approach to privacy management. Companies that become certified become more competitive in the market, as privacy protection is an essential aspect that customers increasingly demand from their service providers.
