ISO 27701 Consultancy

If you are looking to implement a PIMS (privacy information management system) or achieve certification to ISO 27701, then IT Governance can help you through every step of the process.

What is ISO 27701 certification?

ISO 27701 certification gives you evidence or assurance that you have effective measures in place to protect the personal data your organisation controls or processes from errors, misuse, corruption and loss.

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is an extension to the information security standard ISO/IEC 27001. If you are planning to obtain ISO 27701 certification, you will need to either already have ISO 27001 certification, or plan to certify to both standards during the same process.

How to get certified to ISO 27701

The path to ISO 27701 certification starts with an assessment of your level of compliance. This involves reviewing existing data protection and information security policies, procedures and practices, including interviews with key members of staff. We will then help you implement an appropriate PIMS, and help you select and apply the appropriate controls for your business environment.

Certification to ISO 27701 will need to include certification to ISO 27001. If you do not yet have a valid ISO 27001 certificate, we will help you implement an ISMS (information security management system) as part of this process.

IT Governance is a leader in the field of ISO 27001, having helped more than 800 organisations prepare for certification in the past 15 years. With a range of affordable service options, we can help you achieve certification to both ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.
