ISO 27701:2019 aims to enhance the existing Information Security Management System (ISMS) with additional requirements to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).
ISO 27701: 2019 strengthens an organization’s existing Information Security Management System. It outlines a framework for the effective management of the personal data of its customers and associates and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, such as G.P. .D., to reduce the risk of breach of this data.
Organizations manage a large volume of personal data daily. The management of personal data takes place in a world that is becoming increasingly vulnerable to malicious activity and must comply with regulatory and legal requirements. For this reason, it results in increased security requirements for the protection of personal data and the organizations’ compliance with the respective legal requirements and regulations.
ISO 27701: 2019 concerns organizations that have been certified or are about to be certified with ISO / IEC 27001: 2013.
Why is ISO 27701: 2019 crucial for organizations?
Implementing a Personal Data Security Management System is an effective tool for any organization that strives to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation requirements. It is worth noting the presence of a table in one of the annexes of the standard ISO 27701: 2019. In this table, the provisions of this standard are in exact parallel with the articles of the GDPR.
With the implementation of a Privacy Information Management System and possibly its certification, the Data Protection Officers (DPOs) of the Organizations will be able to provide the necessary evidence to assure each interested party that the applicable data protection requirements are on point.
Through ISO 27701: 2019, we have the following achievements:
- Finding and analyzing the risks related to personal data.
- Design and implement appropriate measures and procedures for managing risks associated with personal data.
- Continuous monitoring of the performance of standards and policies concerning personal data.
- Protection of personal data.
- Creating relationships of trust with customers and stakeholders of the Organizations.
- Gaining a competitive advantage.
The Privacy Information Management System affects all Organizations. It includes instructions, procedures, and policies for staff and their stakeholders.
