The ISO 27701 standard is a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) standard that lays out a detailed set of operational checklists that can be adapted to a variety of privacy regulations, including GDPR. ISO 27701 helps your organisation demonstrate to consumers, external organisations and internal stakeholders that mechanisms are in place to keep data safe and to comply with privacy laws and regulations.

ISO 27701 is a framework for data privacy that builds on ISO 27001 which guides an organisations with the implementation of policies and procedures that should be in place to comply with data protection/privacy regulations while maintaining an effective privacy and information security system and ultimately reducing privacy risks.
