ISO 27701 provides guidelines and guidelines for the creation maintenance, enhancement, and ongoing improvement of Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS) (privacy information management systems).

What is the reason ISO 27701 developed?
The DPA (Data Protection Act) 201 , UK (GDPR General Data Protection Regulation), and the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) require organisations to take measures to ensure the security of any personal information they handle.

These laws are not designed to provide guidelines on the form of those measures.
The new standard was created by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) as well as the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission).

How do ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 interrelate?
ISO 27001 specifies the requirements for ISMS (information Security Management System) which is a risk-based method that encompasses both processes and people as well as technology. Independently accredited certification to ISO 27001 provides stakeholders with the assurance that data is appropriately secured.

ISO 27001 certified organisations will be able use ISO 27701 in order to increase their security efforts to ensure privacy. This includes the processing of personal information or PII. This will help them show that reasonable actions were made to adhere to the laws governing data protection, such as the GDPR.

Organizations that do not have an ISMS can use ISO 27001 or ISO 27001 or ISO 27701 as a single project.

Who should be the one to implement ISO 27701?
ISO 27701 was created to be used for data processors and data controllers. Similar to ISO 27001 it encourages a risk-based approach. This means that every company can take on the particular risks they face, in addition to the security and privacy risks.

What is the difference between privacy information management systems and personal information management systems?
Whereas ISO 27701 sets out the guidelines for a privacy information management system, the BS 10012 standard is the British standard for a personal data management system.

There aren't any major differences between these terms, as they each refer to management systems that secure personal data. However, for everyday routine activities, the acronym PIMS is a good way to refer either of them. There are some significant differences between the two approaches. The differences are explained below.

Do I need to use BS 10012 or ISO 27701?
While there are benefits to both standards, they differ in certain aspects.

BS 10012 is aligned with the GDPR and DPA 2018 while ISO 27701 avoids aligning itself with any particular privacy regime. This gives it a wider application and allows conformant organisations adhere to a variety of privacy regulations.

BS 10012 could be the ideal choice for you if your organization must adhere to the GDPR 2018 as well as DPA 2018.

However, if you are required to prove that you're complying with several data protection regimes, then the international standard is more suitable for your needs.

IT Governance can help identify the appropriate standard for your needs and can provide assistance with the implementation.

Prove GDPR compliance with ISO 27701 or ISO 27001
Implementing ISO 27701/ISo27001 can help in meeting the privacy requirements of the GDPR. Check Information technology - Security techniques for info.

Article 42 of GDPR focuses on data protection certifications and seals for data protection or marks. There are no such mechanisms. You can get an independently certified ISO 27001 certification, and further ISO 27701 certification if you implement the controls. This will show regulators and stakeholders that your organization is following the best practices of international standards regarding the security of personal data/PII.
