ISO 27701:2025 is not achieved by extending ISO 27001 documentation or copying privacy templates. It requires defined privacy accountability, defensible lawful processing, and structured data inventories grounded in operational reality.
ISO 27701:2025 strengthens expectations around accountability, transparency, and demonstrable privacy compliance. Without disciplined implementation and traceable evidence, certification becomes uncertain.
Privacy governance designed to integrate with your ISMS and reflect how personal data is actually processed.
Establish organisational privacy context, regulatory exposure (GDPR, DPDP, contractual), and controller / processor obligations.
Document categories of personal data, data subjects, processing purposes, lawful bases, retention, transfers, and processor dependencies.
Risk-based privacy governance addressing regulatory exposure, data subject rights, cross-border transfers, and processor vulnerabilities.
Privacy policies, RoPA, DSAR procedures, and risk treatment integrated into the ISMS — no duplication.
Consent and lawful processing mechanisms, DSAR workflows, vendor due diligence, breach notification procedures.
Independent ISO 27701 internal audit aligned with ISO 19011 to validate processing documentation and control effectiveness.
Organisations working with CertiTrust on this engagement can expect a defined, evidence-driven path with no surprises during external review.
Before committing to certification, establish where you stand on privacy accountability, lawful processing, and PIMS integration.
