Why do I need ISO 27701 Privacy Certification?

So, why would an organisation invest in developing and implementing a Privacy Information Management System?

Are you and your company thinking “Why do I need Privacy Information Management System (PIMS)”? In our modern world organisations have become more connected, leading to increased productivity and workflow. With the increased reliance on digital data comes the increased risk of breaches. Laws have been put in place globally to reduce these risks and protect digital privacy. How can businesses assure they are keeping up with the rapidly changing regulatory requirements?

Privacy is recognised as a fundamental human right by the United Nations. Protecting the privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of individuals is key in ensuring the safety, dignity, and trust of clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

PIMS outlines the criteria for creating, executing, upholding, and enhancing an information security management system. This ensures your organisation complies with digital privacy regulations across various jurisdictions where you operate.

Certification to ISO 27701 provides you with an independent endorsement that your commitment to information security meets international standards, giving your clients, partners and other stakeholders confidence that you take digital privacy seriously and will handle their personal and confidential information with care.
