IT Governance, the leading provider of cyber security and privacy management solutions, has released a new green paper: ISO 27701 – Privacy information management systems.
ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is a new privacy-focused standard that provides organisations with a comprehensive set of guidelines for managing security of information and personal data. The Standard builds upon the internationally recognised standard for information security management, ISO 27001, and specifies the requirements for developing a privacy information management system (PIMS) as an extension to an established ISO 27001 information security management system (ISMS).
Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, said: “ISO 27701 requires organisations to implement controls that closely align with those of an ISO 27001 ISMS, and address data privacy risks in conjunction with information security.
“While an ISMS helps organisations keep data accurate, available and accessible only to authorised staff, a PIMS focuses on ways an organisation collects and processes data and protects it from unauthorised disclosure.”
This green paper explains how ISO 27701 differs from and complements ISO 27001, and helps organisations map their compliance with data protection legislation such as the GDPR, Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
