ISO/IEC 27701:2019
PIMS- Privacy Information Management System
Through the implementation of ISO/IEC 27701 requirements, organizations can extend their Information Security Management System (ISMS) to include Privacy Information Management (PIMS). This extension to ISO/IEC 27001 aims to guide organizations in building and maintaining processes that protect personal data, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations like the GDPR.
Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) is a crucial tool for managing the lifecycle of personal information while ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. By adopting ISO/IEC 27701, organizations can build trust among stakeholders, including customers, partners, and regulatory bodies, through a clear and transparent commitment to privacy and data protection.
ISO/IEC 27701 supports organizations of all types, sizes, and sectors to implement effective privacy controls that align with both business objectives and legal requirements. This standard provides:
- Clear guidance on managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
- Enhanced security controls to ensure personal data protection.
- Mechanisms to facilitate compliance with international data protection regulations, such as GDPR and national data protection regulations.
Why implement ISO/IEC 27701?
Customer trust and regulatory compliance: Demonstrating that you protect personal information in line with recognized standards builds trust and helps you meet regulatory obligations.
Integration with ISO/IEC 27001: The PIMS seamlessly integrates with existing information security systems, building on your ISO/IEC 27001 efforts to include privacy management.
Reduced risk of data breaches: Proactive privacy controls mitigate risks associated with the collection, processing, storage, and disposal of personal information.
Streamlined processes for managing privacy-related incidents: Implementing systematic procedures for handling privacy events helps reduce potential damage and ensures rapid recovery.
Competitive advantage: Certification to ISO/IEC 27701 shows stakeholders that your organization takes data privacy seriously, making you a preferred partner in an increasingly privacy-focused world.
