ISO/IEC 27701 — Privacy Information Management

An extension to ISO 27001 that adds requirements for a Privacy Information Management System, covering both PII controllers and processors.

What It Is

Extending security into privacy management

ISO/IEC 27701 builds on an existing ISO 27001 Information Security Management System, adding specific requirements and guidance for managing personal information as either a controller or processor.

It gives organizations a practical route to demonstrate privacy governance that maps well onto GDPR and similar privacy regulations worldwide.
