8 technical questions about ISO 27701 Audit — Privacy Information Management System. Timelines, methodology, deliverables and assessment criteria.
ISO 27701 is the extension of ISO 27001 for privacy information management (PIMS). It establishes additional requirements for protecting personal data as an information controller or processor.
Organizations processing personal data at scale: technology companies, healthcare providers, financial entities, e-commerce platforms, and any entity subject to GDPR, LGPD, or equivalent legislation.
Between 5 and 15 business days, conditioned by the volume of personal data processed, the number of processing activities, and the maturity of the existing ISMS under ISO 27001.
The extension of ISO 27001 controls to privacy is evaluated, along with the record of processing activities, data protection impact assessment (DPIA), and data subject rights exercise mechanisms.
Privacy gap report, review of the record of processing activities, assessment of additional privacy controls, and recommendations for alignment with applicable legislation.
ISO 27701 requires an ISO 27001-based ISMS as a prerequisite. It allows mapping controls to GDPR, LGPD, and other privacy regulations, functioning as a bridge between the technical and legal frameworks.
Typical findings include incomplete processing records, undocumented legal bases for processing, absence of DPIA for high-risk processing, and insufficient mechanisms for handling data subject rights.
Have ISO 27001 implemented, prepare the record of processing activities, identify the legal bases for each processing activity, and designate a data protection officer.
