ISO 27701
ISO 27701, an extension of ISO 27001, focuses specifically on Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS) and is essential for organizations handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This standard provides a framework for managing data privacy, helping organizations comply with international data protection regulations like the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). With data privacy concerns becoming increasingly significant across the globe, ISO 27701 certification demonstrates that your organization is taking the necessary steps to protect personal information, minimize privacy risks, and comply with relevant laws.
