ISO 27701 outlines the requirements and provides guidance for creating, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It is designed as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002, focusing on privacy management within an organizational setting.
It specifies PIMS-related criteria and guidance for PII controllers and PII processors who hold responsibility and accountability for handling personally identifiable information (PII).
By meeting this standard, you show stakeholders your commitment and gain the following benefits for your business:
Compliance with global privacy regulations and requirements
Creates trust by demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding personal information
Reduce privacy risks and data breaches through structured data handling practices
It integrates with existing security frameworks, streamlining overall information management
