Many information security professionals are familiar with ISO/IEC 27701, a standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Since last year (2019) there is also a standard for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS): ISO/IEC 27701:2019. This standard is an extension of ISO/IEC 27001 and has an Annex (D) which maps the provisions of this standard to the GDPR. During this Square Table Markus Gierschmann will explain the status and background of ISO/IEC 27701, its role in the ISO/IEC 27000-series, its relation to the GDPR, the significance of implementing this standard, the (future) possibilities to audit (conformity asssessment) and to certify against this standard and the possible meaning of all this for “the purpose of demonstrating compliance” with the GDPR “of processing operations by controllers and processors” (article 42 GDPR, Certification).
