Overview: ISO 27701 PIMS

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is the first international standard dedicated to privacy information management. It extends ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002, providing organizations with a structured framework to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). As data privacy becomes a critical business priority, organizations face growing pressure to strengthen their protection of personally identifiable information (PII). ISO 27701 certification ensures you follow a systematic approach to managing PII, helping businesses build trust, demonstrate compliance, and reduce risks in an increasingly data-driven world.

Methodology

Achieving ISO 27701 certification requires a structured, step-by-step approach. It begins with a gap analysis to assess current data privacy practices and pinpoint areas for improvement. Next, a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) is developed and implemented, complete with policies and controls for handling personal data.
An internal audit is then conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the PIMS, followed by a management evaluation to ensure compliance readiness. The process concludes with an independent certification audit, which validates that your organization’s PIMS meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 27701: 2019.
