ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/ IEC 27002 Security controls, which is designed to identify and define the procedures, priorities, and protections that must be enforced to protect sensitive data and privacy. The key aim of the standard is to define global standards and guidelines about privacy in a shared language, but certification to the standard is not associated with GDPR compliance.
The core objective of a ISO/IEC 27701 certification is to give integrity to a company's privacy management scheme and to give stakeholders (business associates, consumers, vendors, staff, regulators, etc.) assurance that basic privacy standards are being followed.
The standard establishes a common baseline by which businesses can assess themselves and create a transparent and agreed auditing process. DPOs and privacy departments may also use ISO/IEC 27701 certification to demonstrate their contributions to upper management.
Available for all type of organisation
ISO/IEC 27701 can be used by any company in any market to handle security threats that the company processes, holds, or transmits on a daily basis.
