What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It focuses on protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information through a systematic risk-based approach. By implementing ISO/IEC 27001, organizations can identify information security risks, apply appropriate controls, and ensure the protection of sensitive data while complying with legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements.
What is ISO/IEC 27701:2025?
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is the international standard for Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS) and serves as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001. It provides guidelines for managing personal data, supporting compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR and other data protection laws. ISO/IEC 27701 helps organizations establish, implement, and maintain controls to protect personally identifiable information (PII) and strengthen trust with customers and stakeholders.
Why is an Integrated ISMS & PIMS Important?
An integrated ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 management system is important because it allows organizations to manage information security and privacy protection in a unified framework. Integration reduces duplication of controls, streamlines risk management, and simplifies audits and compliance efforts. It also enhances data protection, strengthens organizational resilience against cyber threats, builds customer trust, and demonstrates a strong commitment to both information security and privacy governance.
