What is ISO 27701? Do ISO 27001-certified organizations need to get certified for this standard too? How will this benefit my organization? And most importantly, what is the fastest, most efficient way to get certified?

Hermeticon’s experts have all the answers for you right here. Keep reading to find out.

What is ISO 27701?

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is an expansion of ISO 27001, establishing guidelines for managing information security in organizations. This expansion focuses on privacy management and provides guidelines for setting up and maintaining a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

This standard builds on ISO 27001 and adds requirements specific to privacy protection.

The new expansion responded to GDPR, the European privacy protection regulation, which establishes strict requirements for all organizations that collect and/or process data about EU residents.

To whom does the ISO 27701 standard apply?

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 applies to all organizations that act as controllers and processors for personally identifiable information (PII). This includes private and public companies, government agencies, and nonprofits.

The standard uses an approach where each organization acts to minimize its unique privacy and security risks.

Why get both ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications?

ISO 27001 certification will give you a competitive edge as more and more clients only work with certified service providers. Once you get certified, you will be able to work with major players and government agencies, as well as enter international markets.

However, if you want to ensure your PII privacy protection and security systems are entirely on par with the industry’s high standards, getting ISO 27701 certification is the right choice.

How does the standard help organizations meet the requirements? Getting certified will help you:

• Comply with HIPAA, GDPR, and other laws and regulations.
• Get more clients, as many companies in Israel and worldwide have very high information security standards.
• Prove that your company is reliable and your client’s data is safe and secure in your hands.
• Equip yourself with tools for detecting, managing, and mitigating security risks, thus enhancing your business continuity and minimizing potential damage from incidents.
• Provide better solutions for issues within and outside your organization.
• Optimize work processes and save costs.
