WHY DOES A PRIVACY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
MATTER?
ISO 27701 certification is an international
standard that sets out the criteria for the establishment of the Privacy
Information Management System (PIMS). It provides guidance to companies on the
policies and procedures that should be implemented in order to comply with the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other data protection/personal
information regulations or laws. This framework helps companies maintain
an effective system for the protection of personal information and information
security within organizations.
ISO 27701 ceretification is an extension of ISO 27001, an
organization with the intention of establishing PIMS must have ISO 27001
certification or maintain both the standards up to date at the same
time. It establishes a full set of checklists for companies that can be adapted
to a variety of regulations, including GDPR.
