    ISO/IEC 27701:2025

    Privacy Information Management

    What is ISO/IEC 27701:2025?

    ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is the latest revision of the international standard for Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS). Unlike the 2019 edition — which was an extension of ISO/IEC 27001 — the 2025 version is a standalone standard that can be implemented independently or integrated with an existing ISMS. It aligns closely with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, DPDP, and CCPA, and strengthens requirements around AI-driven processing, data subject rights, and cross-border transfers.

    Key Focus Areas

    Personal data processing governance
    Privacy risk assessment and treatment
    Data subject rights management
    Consent management frameworks
    Cross-border data transfer controls
    Privacy by design and default
    Third-party data processor management
    Breach notification procedures
