ISO 27701 Privacy and Data Protection Verified listing

ISO/IEC 27701 is an international standard for establishing a privacy information management system (PIMS), applicable to organizations of all types and sizes, including PII controllers and processors.

The 2025 edition of ISO/IEC 27701 introduces a stand-alone PIMS, no longer requiring ISO/IEC 27001-based security management. This provides organizations with more flexibility to implement a PIMS independently while maintaining alignment with ISO’s management system structure.

ISO/IEC 27701:2025 helps organizations demonstrate compliance with privacy practices, building trust and meeting regulatory and contractual obligations. It also facilitates independent assessments and includes mappings to key privacy frameworks and regulations, alongside guidance for interpreting these in the context of local laws.
