ISO/IEC 27701:2019
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 for privacy information management
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 was created to complement the very commonly used ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Information Security Management standards.
This recently published standard offers guidance for businesses wishing to set up infrastructure to enable GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and other data privacy regulations.
ISO/IEC 27701:2019, also known as The Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), provides a framework for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Controllers and PII Processors to manage data privacy.
To comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ISO/IEC 27701:2019 establishes a strong integration point for coordinating security and privacy controls. This integration is achieved through a framework for managing personal data that can be used by both data controllers and data processors.
What is ISO/IEC 27701:2019?
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is a privacy extension to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information Security Management and ISO/IEC 27002:2013 Security Controls Standards. It provides guidance on the protection of privacy, including how organizations should manage personal information, and assists in demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations around the world.
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 indicates the requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It specifies PIMS-related requirements and provides guidance for PII controllers and PII processors holding responsibility and accountability for PII processing.
