Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) ISO27701

The rapid growth of digital technologies and the collection of personal information arising from them has led to privacy concerns. Hence, implementing a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) in compliance with the requirements and guidance of the ISO/IEC 27701 is essential. It will enable organizations to estimate and reduce risks associated with the collection, maintenance and processing of personal information. Shortly said, ISO27701 helps companies to maintain an effective privacy and information security system and reduce privacy risks, keeps sensitive data safe and fully compliant with GDPR and other data protection/ privacy regulations and laws.

The main objectives of ISO 27701 are:

  • Protect private information assets
  • Demonstrate compliance with privacy and data protection regulations.

Our company will assist organizations to establish, maintain and continually improve PIMS by enhancing the existing ISMS. ISO 27701 is only available as an extension to an ISO 27001 certificate, PIMS is an appendix of ISMS, which means that organizations intending to implement ISO 27701 certification must have ISO 27001, or implement both standards simultaneously.

ISO/IEC 27701 will help you manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) within your organization. It’s a new standard, designed for use by anyone responsible for PII in any kind of organization. It can be used by all types of organizations regardless of their size, complexity, industry or the country in which they operate and is essential for every organization that is responsible for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as it provides requirements on how to manage and process data and safeguard privacy.
