Blog Introducing the ISO27701 Privacy Information Toolkit

Privacy Information is a global issue

CertiKit managing director Ken Holmes explained that privacy continued to be a hot topic worldwide.

He added: “We are delighted to be able to help organizations comply with the ISO27701 privacy standard, which defines an effective framework for compliance.

“All our knowledge and experience of ISO standards and the GDPR have gone into making this toolkit an accurate and useful addition to our toolkit product range.

“As an add-on to the ISO27001 standard, many of our customers have been keenly awaiting our toolkit, so we’re pleased to be able to deliver.”

The ISO27701 Standard for Privacy Information

ISO27701 is one of many standards in the ISO27000 family. Others cover areas such as cloud services, risk management and network security.

Privacy information management systems are covered by ISO27701, which was published in August 2019.

Certification to ISO27701 is not an option on its own – ISO27001 is a necessary prerequisite to it.

Also, there is no obligation to become certified to ISO27701. Many organizations choose to simply use it as a set of good-practice principles.

These will guide them along the way to managing their information privacy risks and achieving compliance with privacy legislation, such as the European Union’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
