ISO 27701:2019 is an internationally recognized standard that provides guidelines for implementing a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard is an extension to ISO 27001, which focuses on Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). ISO 27701 complements and enhances ISO 27001 by addressing privacy-specific requirements, ensuring organizations can effectively manage and protect personal information.
The primary objective of ISO 27701 is to assist organizations in establishing a systematic approach to safeguarding the privacy of individuals and complying with relevant data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. By aligning with ISO 27701, businesses can build trust with their customers, partners, and other stakeholders, demonstrating their commitment to respecting privacy rights and handling personal data responsibly.

This first stage involves assessing the flow of information within your organization to identify how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and shared. Understanding this data flow is crucial for implementing an effective privacy management system.
In this stage, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of your current privacy practices and compare them to the requirements of ISO 27701 - 2019. This helps identify any gaps or shortcomings in your privacy management system and serves as the foundation for developing appropriate controls.
Here, we design and document specific controls tailored to address the identified gaps and ensure compliance with ISO 27701 - 2019. These controls are customized to suit your organization's unique needs and provide a framework for safeguarding personal data.
This stage involves closely monitoring the implementation of the designed controls. We track the progress to ensure that the privacy management system is being effectively integrated into your organization's processes and operations.
Continuous monitoring of the privacy management system's performance is vital to its long-term success. We help you establish metrics and indicators to gauge the effectiveness of the controls and make any necessary adjustments.
In the final stage, we conduct an internal audit of your privacy management system to verify its compliance with ISO 27701 - 2019 requirements. The audit helps identify areas for improvement and provides insights for maintaining the system's effectiveness over time.
