With technological advances and online services exponentially expanding in recent years, our lives are ever- increasingly moving online. Our individual and organizational information now lives online and in databases. Breaches and hacks have been an impetuous for the demand of accountability and better security of our data. Globally, countries and states are passing legislation such as the EU’s GDPR, California’s CCPA, to which organizations must comply. Using international standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 organizations can not only comply with regulations, but have the right competence, processes, and systems in place to more broadly address and mitigate risk to ensure privacy security.
What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
About ISO/IEC 27701:2019
The data privacy extension to ISO 27001 is ISO 27701. It was created to meet the privacy and information security requirements set forth in GDPR, as well as other data protection regulations.
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 outlines the requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). As an extension, it is used as an add-on to an ISO/IEC 27001 and/or ISO/IEC 27002 management system, providing additional requirements and guidelines for privacy and security on top of an existing ISO management system approach.
ISO 27701 specifies PIMS-related requirements and provides guidance for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) controllers and processors that have the responsibility and are held accountable for PII processing. It is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations, including public and private companies, government entities and not-for-profit organizations.
