ISO/IEC 27701:2025 INFORMATION SECURITY, CYBERSECURITY AND PRIVACY PROTECTION – PRIVACY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS – REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 INFORMATION SECURITY, CYBERSECURITY AND PRIVACY PROTECTION – PRIVACY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS – REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 was developed 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 27701:2025, also known as the Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), provides a framework for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) controllers and processors to manage data privacy effectively.
To comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ISO/IEC 27701:2025 establishes a strong integration point for aligning 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 27701:2025?
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is a privacy extension to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management and ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Security Controls standards. It provides guidance on the protection of privacy, including how organisations should manage personal information, and assists in demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations around the world.
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 indicates the requirements and guides establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It specifies PIMS-related requirements and guides PII controllers and processors holding responsibility and accountability for processing.
