ISO/IEC 27701:2025
ISO 27701 Implementation
PIMS - Privacy Information Management System
ISO 27701 implementation provides your organization with a proven framework for managing and protecting personal data. With the release of ISO/IEC 27701:2025, the standard has undergone a major transformation — it is now a standalone certifiable management system, no longer just an extension of ISO 27001. This means organizations can implement and certify a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) independently, without first requiring an ISMS in place. This makes ISO 27701 more accessible, more flexible, and more relevant than ever.
Of course, for organizations that already have ISO 27001, the integration is seamless — ISO 27701 builds naturally on your existing information security controls. And with Bosnia’s new Zakon o zaštiti ličnih podataka coming into force in October 2025, alongside regulations like the GDPR, having a structured privacy management framework is no longer optional — it’s a business necessity.
ISO 27701 supports organizations of all types and sizes to implement effective privacy controls. Key benefits include:
- 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 Privacy Information Management System?
Customer trust and regulatory compliance: Demonstrating that you protect personal information in line with recognized standards builds trust and helps you meet regulatory obligations, including GDPR and national data protection laws.
Standalone or integrated — your choice: ISO/IEC 27701:2025 works as an independent management system, or integrates seamlessly with your existing ISO 27001 – ISMS, building on your information security 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 27701 shows stakeholders that your organization takes data privacy seriously, making you a preferred partner in an increasingly privacy-focused world.
