Overview

An ideal primer for anyone implementing a PIMS based on ISO/IEC 27701

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is a privacy extension to the international information security management standard, ISO/IEC 27001. It has been designed to integrate with ISO 27001 to extend an existing ISMS (information security management system) with additional requirements, enabling an organisation to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve its PIMS.

ISO 27701 provides guidance on the protection of privacy, including how organisations should manage personal information, and helps demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations around the world, such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

ISO/IEC 27701:2019: An introduction to privacy information management offers a concise introduction to the Standard, aiding those organisations looking to improve their privacy information management regime, particularly where ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is involved. It is intended for:

  • Individuals looking for general information about privacy information management; and
  • Organisations implementing, or considering improving, a PIMS, particularly where the use of ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is being considered.

It will enable you to understand the basics of privacy information management, including:

  • What privacy information management means;
  • How to manage privacy information successfully using a PIMS aligned to ISO/IEC 27701;
  • Key areas of investment for a business-focused PIMS; and
  • How your organisation can demonstrate the degree of assurance it offers with regard to privacy information management.
