In an age defined by data-driven innovation and increasing privacy risks, protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is more than a regulatory obligation—it’s a strategic imperative. ISO/IEC 27701 compliance is the global standard for establishing, maintaining, and continuously improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). As an extension of ISO/IEC 27001, it enhances your organization’s ability to address privacy risks and fulfill the requirements of international data protection laws such as the GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy compliance mandates.
Businesses handling sensitive personal data—whether as data controllers or processors—must demonstrate accountability and transparency in how they collect, use, store, and secure that data. ISO/IEC 27701 provides the framework for doing exactly that.

What is ISO/IEC 27701?
ISO/IEC 27701 is an international standard that provides a framework for managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and extends the ISO/IEC 27001 security management system into the domain of data privacy.
Is ISO/IEC 27701 a certification standard?
Yes. Organizations that already have ISO 27001 compliance certification can extend their scope and pursue certification for ISO 27701 to demonstrate effective privacy compliance.
How is ISO 27701 related to ISO 27001?
ISO/IEC 27701 builds on the foundation of ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 by adding privacy-specific controls, policies, and processes. Think of it as the privacy layer on top of your information security management system (ISMS).
Who needs ISO/IEC 27701 compliance?
Any organization that processes Personally Identifiable Information—especially those under the scope of GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws—should consider ISO 27701. It is especially useful for data controllers and processors seeking an internationally recognized privacy compliance framework.
How long does it take to become ISO 27701 compliant?
Depending on the maturity of your ISO 27001 management system, full compliance with ISO/IEC 27701 can typically take between 3–6 months, including gap analysis, implementation, training, and internal audits.
