Efficiently comply with ISO27701 in the ICT sector

As a professional in the ICT sector, you know that privacy and data protection are becoming increasingly important. With the advent of stricter legislation such as the AVG, it is essential to properly comply with the international privacy standard ISO27701. This standard helps organizations effectively manage privacy risks. But how to address them? Read on to find out how you can optimize your organization using the right platform.

What is ISO27701

ISO27701 is an international standard designed to help organizations manage privacy risks. It focuses on safeguarding and protecting personally identifiable information (PII) and supports organizations in their compliance with privacy legislation such as the AVG. This standard is an excellent complement to ISO27001 and ISO27002, which deal with information security management and related controls, respectively. By complying with ISO27701, organizations can not only improve data protection but also increase the trust of their customers and partners.

ISO27701: Where to start?

Starting with ISO27701 can seem overwhelming, especially given the complexity of privacy laws and file systems. It is important to first understand the existing processes within your organization. Conduct a thorough risk assessment to determine where privacy risks lie and what measures are already in place. Also involve stakeholders and increase support within the organization. Establishing a manager-to-employee communication strategy helps not only with implementation but also with acceptance of the changes that are needed. Make sure you are well prepared to meet the challenge. This is where Perium comes in!

How can you efficiently and demonstrably comply with ISO27701?

Complying with ISO27701 requires a structured approach. Make sure you implement the right measures and processes that meet the requirements of the standard. Start by setting up a privacy management system (PIMS) that is transparent and accessible. This will help you not only identify risks but also follow up on control measures. Training to make employees aware of privacy-sensitive information is crucial. Automation also plays a role: use tools and software to streamline processes and make reports easily accessible. This not only saves time but also increases efficiency.
