ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management

Elevating Privacy, Building Trust in a Data-Driven World

ISO 27701 is the international standard for privacy information management, extending ISO 27001 to include best practices for managing personal data privacy.

This standard helps businesses implement a privacy information management system (PIMS) that ensures compliance with data protection regulations, enhances customer trust, and safeguards personal information from unauthorised access or misuse.

At CGBC, our expert team supports businesses in establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving their PIMS. We tailor our approach to your organisation's unique needs, helping you effectively assess and address privacy risks while aligning with global data protection standards.

Protecting Privacy, Building Trust.

ISO 27701 is vital for businesses, providing a framework to manage personal data privacy effectively.

As an extension of ISO 27001, it integrates privacy management into existing security systems, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA while safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

By adopting ISO 27701, organizations protect individuals' rights, reduce regulatory risks, and build trust with stakeholders.

 

Certification demonstrates a commitment to privacy best practices, offering a competitive edge in a market where data protection is critical.

It also streamlines operations by embedding privacy across all business processes, fostering efficiency and a unified approach to addressing privacy challenges.

Benefits of ISO 27701

ISO 27701 provides organisations with a comprehensive framework to manage personal data privacy, addressing the challenges of safeguarding sensitive information in an increasingly data-driven world. By seamlessly integrating privacy controls into existing information security management systems, it aligns practices with global data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. This integration simplifies compliance efforts while proactively mitigating risks, reducing the likelihood of fines, legal actions, or reputational damage arising from data breaches or non-compliance.

Achieving ISO 27701 certification fosters trust and transparency, signalling a commitment to handling personal information responsibly and securely. It strengthens relationships with clients, partners, and employees, creating a competitive advantage by promoting a culture of accountability and privacy awareness. By embedding privacy management into day-to-day operations and addressing technical, procedural, and organisational safeguards, ISO 27701 equips businesses to navigate the complexities of modern data protection while maintaining stakeholder confidence.
