ISO/IEC 27701:2025 · Now Standalone

Privacy isn't optional.
Make it certifiable.

ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is the international standard for Privacy Information Management Systems — and the recognised framework for demonstrating GDPR accountability. Now fully standalone, you no longer need ISO 27001 first. Build your PIMS directly to satisfy data protection regulators, contractual due diligence requirements, and the expectations of the people whose data you process.

From gap assessment to certified PIMS

Whether you're starting from scratch or formalizing existing privacy practices, we build a Privacy Information Management System that satisfies certification bodies and demonstrates genuine accountability to the people whose data you process.

PIMS Implementation

Build a Privacy Information Management System certified to ISO/IEC 27701:2025. We scope your PII processing activities, map data flows across systems and third parties, design controls, and guide you through to certification — whether standalone or integrated alongside your existing ISMS.

ISO 27701 Internal Audit

An independent assessment of your PIMS against the 2025 requirements. We evaluate PII processing controls, review data subject rights procedures, assess accountability mechanisms, and produce a clear remediation roadmap — so you enter your external certification audit knowing exactly where you stand.

Privacy Gap Assessment

Not ready for full implementation? We benchmark your current privacy practices against ISO/IEC 27701:2025, GDPR, and applicable data protection law — delivering a clear, prioritized roadmap that shows exactly what needs to change and in what order, without committing to a full engagement.

From data inventory to certified PIMS

No cookie-cutter playbooks. Every engagement is shaped by your organization's data footprint, regulatory exposure, and timeline — not the other way around.

Step 01

Map

We inventory your PII processing activities, map data flows across systems and third parties, and benchmark against ISO/IEC 27701:2025 requirements. No assumptions about your privacy maturity level.

Step 02

Design

Privacy policies, consent mechanisms, data subject rights procedures, and PII processing controls built around your actual data flows and risk profile. Designed to satisfy regulators and work in practice.

Step 03

Implement

Controls deployed alongside your team with documentation, training, and knowledge transfer throughout. Privacy governance that builds customer trust, not just clears an auditor's checklist.

Step 04

Certify

We conduct your internal audit, lead management review, and run a mock certification walkthrough so you enter the external assessment with no surprises. Prepared, not guessing.

Step 05

Sustain

Post-certification PIMS maintenance supporting surveillance audits, control updates, and regulatory monitoring — so your programme stays current as your data footprint grows. Certified once, maintained continuously.

The Management System Triangle

ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001 share the same Annex SL skeleton. Now that 27701 is standalone, you can pursue PIMS certification on its own — then extend to ISMS or AIMS without rebuilding from scratch. One audit cycle, three standards.

Information Security Management System

The foundation standard for information security risk management. ISO 27701 was originally designed as an extension of 27001 — now standalone, the two can still be combined for a unified privacy and security program with a merged audit cycle.

AI Management System

When AI systems process personal data, 27701 and 42001 controls work in tandem — privacy by design meets responsible AI governance. Shared Annex SL structure means both standards can be pursued together with a single integrated audit program.
