ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Certification

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Certification

The new international standard ISO/IEC 27701:2019 also known as Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) has been put forth to help organizations reconcile their privacy regulation requirements.

ISO/IEC 27701 specifies the requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a privacy information management system (PIMS). The standard covers how organizations should manage personal identifiable information (PII) and assists in demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations that may apply.

Personal identifiable information (PII) is information that reveals someone's identity, and are sensitive

ISO/IEC 27701 extends your security efforts to cover privacy management if you have already implemented ISO 27001, including processing of PII to demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations. The standard can be mapped into privacy and frameworks defined in ISO/IEC 29100, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 29151 and GDPR. The framework provides a model for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an information security management system.

The implementation process can be specified as follows:

  1. Developing a security policy as per the business requirement for information privacy and security.
  2. Defining the scope of the PIMS, all aspects pertaining to people, processes and technology are included.
  3. Conducting risk assessment.
  4. Identification of risks post assessment and undertaking adequate management steps.
  5. Selection of control objectives and their implementation.
  6. Drawing up a statement of applicability.
  7. Defining policies, procedures and awareness training etc.
