ISO 27701 is a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) standard that helps organizations comply with personal data privacy laws around the world. In recent years, new data protection laws have been introduced in multiple countries that establish requirements for securing and processing Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
However, it is not always clear how organizations should comply with these laws. The standard was introduced in 2019 and provides actionable guidance to help organizations conform to these regulations.
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is an extension of ISO/IEC 27001, the information security management system (ISMS) standard. Where ISO/IEC 27001 sets a standard for secure IT governance in the broadest sense, ISO/IEC 27701 focuses specifically on protecting personal data.
ISO/IEC 27701 is the first standard of its type and applies to public and private companies, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations. It supports compliance with the EU’s GDPR and applies to personal data privacy governance laws in all other countries.
