ISO 27701 - Privacy Information Management System
ISO 27701 is a framework for data privacy that builds on ISO 27001. It guides organisations on policies and procedures that should be in place to comply with GDPR and other data protection/privacy regulations and laws.
In the wake of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), South Africa’s POPIA, Brazil’s LGPD, the Australia Privacy Principles, many similar privacy laws and regulations being drafted around the world; there has been a growing need for a code of conduct, or standard, to demonstrate privacy data compliance and certification. ISO 27701 seeks to provide a truly international approach to privacy protection as a component of information security.
ISO 27701 was developed to provide a standard for data privacy controls, which, when coupled with an ISMS, allows an organisation to demonstrate effective privacy data management. It establishes the parameters for a PIMS in terms of privacy protection and processing personally identifiable information (PII).
The ISO 27701 standard, a PIMS (Privacy Information Management System) standard, lays out a detailed set of operational checklists that can be adapted to a variety of regulations, including GDPR. Companies document their policies, procedures, protocols and activities in line with the standard’s operational checklists, with records then audited by internal and third-party auditors, resulting in detailed proof of compliance with the standard. ISO 27701 helps companies to maintain an effective privacy and information security system and reduce privacy risks.
