New International Standard for Privacy Information Management ISO/IEC 27701:2025

The new version of ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is here! What has changed and what does this mean for your organization?

Key Changes

Standalone Certification

ISO 27701 can now be certified independently of ISO 27001. Privacy gets its own place.

High-Level Structure

The standard now follows the same structure as other ISO standards, facilitating integration.

Extended Risk Analysis

More focus on modern risks:

  • AI and automated decision-making
  • Cloud services
  • IoT and connected devices
  • Biometric data
  • International data transfers
  • Governance and Leadership

    Privacy must be anchored in policies, roles, and KPIs.

    Transition Periods

    Organizations with ISO 27701:2019 must transition to the new version by October 2028.
