What Is ISO 27701: 2019 Privacy Information Management System?
ISO 27701:2019 is an international standard that provides a framework for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), extending ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 to specifically address the management of personal data. It helps organizations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve processes to protect personal information, manage privacy risks, and comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR. The standard covers identifying and mitigating privacy risks, implementing controls for personal data, managing data subject rights and consent, and integrating privacy practices into an organization’s overall information security management system. By adopting ISO 27701:2019, organizations can enhance trust, reduce the risk of data breaches, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Why ISO 27701 Certification Is Important?
ISO 27701 certification is important because it demonstrates that an organization effectively manages personal data and protects privacy in line with global standards. It helps ensure compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR, reduces the risk of data breaches, and builds trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders. Certification also strengthens overall information security management by integrating privacy controls, improving accountability and transparency, and enhancing the organization’s reputation as a responsible handler of personal information.
Key Principles of ISO 27701 Certification
Privacy by Design – Integrate privacy considerations into all processes and systems from the start.
Accountability – Clearly define roles and responsibilities for managing personal data.
Risk-Based Approach – Identify, assess, and manage privacy risks systematically.
Data Minimization – Collect and process only the personal data necessary for the intended purpose.
Transparency – Inform data subjects about how their data is collected, used, and stored.
Consent and Choice – Ensure data subjects provide informed consent where required and have control over their data.
Security of Personal Data – Implement appropriate controls to protect data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Continual Improvement – Regularly review and improve privacy management processes and controls.
How to Get ISO 27701 Certification
To get ISO 27701 certification, an organization assesses its current privacy practices, implements a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) with policies, processes, and controls for managing personal data, trains employees, and conducts internal audits. An accredited certification body then performs a documentation review and on-site audit, and once compliant, the organization receives certification while maintaining continual improvement.
