What is ISO/IEC 27701?
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is an internationally recognized standard that extends ISO/IEC 27001 by integrating privacy-specific requirements into an organization’s information security framework. This standard establishes a comprehensive Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), providing structured guidance for managing personally identifiable information (PII) in a secure, transparent, and accountable manner.
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 supports organizations acting as PII Controllers and/or PII Processors, helping them define roles, responsibilities, and controls related to privacy protection. Through our training program, participants will gain a practical and in-depth understanding of how to implement, operate, and continually improve privacy controls that align with international standards and regulatory expectations, strengthening both data protection and stakeholder confidence.
Why is ISO/IEC 27701 important?
In an environment where personal data processing continues to grow and privacy expectations are becoming more stringent, ISO/IEC 27701:2025 plays a vital role in helping organizations manage privacy risks in a systematic and auditable way. The standard provides a clear framework to identify, assess, and control privacy-related risks while ensuring accountability throughout the data lifecycle.
By adopting ISO/IEC 27701, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to responsible data handling, support compliance with applicable data protection regulations, and align privacy practices with international best practices. This not only reduces the risk of data breaches and privacy incidents, but also enhances organizational credibility, trust, and long-term sustainability in the eyes of customers, business partners, and regulators.
