ISO 27701:2025, Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection – Privacy information management systems – Requirements and guidance.
Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) provides a framework which supports an organization’s ability to protect personally identifiable information (PII) and meet continually changing regulatory requirements.
Personal data is among the most valuable—and sensitive—assets organizations manage today. With increasing expectations from individuals, regulators, and business partners, simply prioritizing privacy isn’t enough; organizations must be able to demonstrate it. ISO/IEC 27701 offers a structured, globally recognized framework to help organizations establish accountability, manage risks related to personally identifiable information (PII), and continuously strengthen their privacy practices.
Benefits
• Enhance data privacy and protection capabilities.
• Support compliance with global regulations such as GDPR.
• Build trust with partners, clients, and regulators.
• Integrate with ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 42001 to simplify implementation.
• Enable accountable, evidence-based privacy management.
Why Implement PIMS
• The basis of a functional PIMS is balanced between data protection and data privacy.
• Data protection means keeping data safe from unauthorized access.
• Data privacy means empowering individuals to make their own decisions about who can process their data and for what purpose.
• The requirement for a privacy impact analysis allows an organization to identify its risks to an individual’s data privacy and data protection.
• Identification of how an organization processes or controls PII, allows for additional security
controls to reduce the risk of data leakage especially with AI.
