Enhancing Privacy with ISO/IEC 27701

ISO/IEC 27701 standard is published in August 2019, and it is the first international standard that deals with privacy information management. The standard will assist organizations to establish, maintain and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) by enhancing the existing ISMS, based on the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001 and guidance of ISO/IEC 27002. It can be used by all types of organizations irrespective of their size, complexity or the country they operate.

Why is ISO/IEC 27701 important for you?

The exponential growth in data collection and processing, driven by the rise of AI systems, has amplified privacy concerns. AI algorithms often require vast amounts of personal data for training and optimization, making it crucial for organizations to implement robust privacy frameworks. A Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), compliant with ISO/IEC 27701, helps mitigate these concerns by enabling organizations to assess, treat, and reduce risks associated with the collection, maintenance, and processing of personal information.

 

AI systems, especially those handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII), must adhere to these standards to ensure ethical development and deployment. ISO/IEC 27701 provides practical requirements for managing data and safeguarding privacy, ensuring that AI applications align with global privacy regulations. This is particularly relevant as organizations increasingly integrate AI-driven decision-making processes into their operations, which can inadvertently expose sensitive user data to risks.
