What Is ISO 27701 Certification?

ISO 27701 is an extension of the international Information Security Management standard, ISO 27001.

ISO 27701 specifies the requirements for – and provides guidance for establishing, implementing & maintaining – a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

Implementing a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) such as ISO 27701 certification ensures you have in place the infrastructure to protect vital information assets and manage cyber threats in a proactive and secure manner.

The Benefits of ISO 27701 Certification

  • Take A Proactive Approach To Cyber Security

With cyber security, it’s vital to approach potential threats in as proactive a manner as possible. By achieving ISO 27701 certification, you’ll ensure that potential threats are prevented from the outset, mitigating your risk of large-scale expenses and irreparable brand damage due to a cyber security breach.

  • Uphold Your Reputation

Obtaining your ISO 27701 certification instils confidence in your customer base, employees and stakeholders that you’re committed to best practices when it comes to cyber security. It also minimises your chances of sensitive data being compromised – an event which could prove disastrous to your organisation.

  • Become The Market Leader

Being ISO 27701 certified allows you to gain a distinct advantage over your competitors by showing that you take data protection seriously. By demonstrating your commitment to robust cyber security practices, you’ll instil confidence in your customers, clients and contractors.
