Certification by AXIA CERT
What is ISO 27701:2019?
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is a specialized standard that serves as an extension of the existing ISO/IEC 27001 framework for organizations. This standard provides guidelines for establishing a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). ISO/IEC 27701 is designed to help organizations manage and protect the personally identifiable information (PII) they process.
Privacy protection in the context of personal data processing is a fundamental societal need and obligation, as well as a subject of specific legislation and/or regulations worldwide.
ISO/IEC 27701 is a powerful tool for compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who is ISO 27701 for
ISO/IEC 27701 applies to any organization, regardless of size or sector, that processes personal data—whether as a data controller or data processor. It targets organizations aiming to manage privacy through a management system approach, offering a framework for the secure processing of personal data, including collaboration with other organizations or third- party providers.
Benefits of ISO 27701 Certification
Achieving ISO 27701 certification offers numerous advantages:
- Regulatory Compliance: Supports full compliance with international and national data protection regulations, reducing the risk of fines and legal consequences.
- Trust Enhancement: Implementation of the standard strengthens customer and partner confidence in the organization's ability to safeguard personal data.
- Reduced Operational Risks: By adhering to the standard, organizations can reduce the risk of data breaches and identify vulnerabilities early.
- Competitive Advantage: ISO 27701 certification distinguishes the organization in its sector, demonstrating commitment to the security of personal information.
The implementation of ISO/IEC 27701 can be integrated with ISO 27001 to provide a comprehensive approach to managing information security and privacy.
The Information Security Management System (ISMS) defined in ISO/IEC 27001 is designed to allow the addition of sector-specific requirements without the need to develop a new management system. This enables organizations to build a robust framework for secure data processing practices, enhancing the integrity and confidentiality of the information they manage.
