ISO 27701 is a certification standard that establishes a framework for organizations to implement robust privacy information management systems (PIMS). It provides guidance on managing personal data throughout its lifecycle, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations, and protecting individuals' privacy rights. ISO 27701 certification demonstrates an organization's commitment to data privacy and meets industry best practices for PIMS.
ISO 27701 is an international standard that provides a code of practice for privacy information management systems (PIMS) in organizations.
