What is ISO 27701?

ISO 27701 is an international standard that guides organisations in establishing and improving a Privacy Information Management System [PIMS]. It extends ISO 27001 and supports compliance with GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and other global privacy regulations.

Organisations must already have ISO 27001 or implement both standards together during certification.
