Privacy is now a board-level concern, and ISO/IEC 27701 is the standard that turns good intentions into an auditable Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). Built as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001, it gives organisations a structured way to manage personally identifiable information, whether they act as a data controller, a processor, or both. Any business handling customer, employee, or supplier data — SaaS providers, healthcare groups, marketing agencies, HR outsourcers — will find it the practical bridge between an existing security programme and demonstrable privacy accountability.
What’s inside
- PIMS scope statement, privacy policy, and privacy management manual
- Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) register for controller and processor roles
- Data subject rights procedure covering access, rectification, erasure, and portability
- Privacy by design and default guidance plus a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA/DPIA) template
- Consent management, retention, and disposal procedures
- Processor and sub-processor agreement templates with due-diligence checklists
- Data breach and personal data incident response procedure with a notification log
- Cross-border transfer register and PII inventory
Why it saves you weeks
Every document arrives as a fully editable Microsoft Word or Excel file, so you brand it, adjust the wording, and deploy — no starting from a blank page. The content is aligned to the 27701 controls and mapped back to the 27001 Annex A structure it extends, giving your auditor a clear line of sight from requirement to evidence. You reach audit-readiness in a fraction of the time it takes to draft from scratch, and you skip the recurring cost of a privacy consultant to author the same foundational material.
Download the toolkit, tailor it to how your organisation actually handles data, and put a defensible privacy management system in front of regulators, customers, and certification bodies with confidence.
