ISO 27701 Certification Consulting & Privacy Audit Services Image

Demonstrate global privacy compliance with ISO 27701 certification.

Achieving ISO 27701 certification demonstrates your commitment to privacy, data protection, and regulatory compliance, building trust with clients and partners.

ISO/IEC 27701 is the global ISO 27701 standard for privacy information management, extending ISO 27001 by adding privacy-specific requirements. It provides organizations with a structured approach to managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and other data privacy laws.

To achieve certification, organizations must undergo an ISO 27701 audit, which evaluates how effectively privacy controls have been implemented and integrated with the broader information security management system.

How ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 Work Together: Future-Proof Data Privacy

FAQ

How does ISO 27701 relate to ISO 27001?

ISO 27701 is an extension of ISO 27001, adding privacy requirements to an existing Information Security Management System. If you’re ISO 27001 certified, achieving ISO 27701 is a logical next step because the security foundation is already in place.

Yes, significantly. ISO 27701 aligns with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations by defining how organizations should manage and protect PII across your operations.

Any organization that collects, processes, or stores PII, including SaaS companies, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and any business handling customer data. If you touch personal information, you should have privacy controls.

Our consulting covers the full journey from current state to certification readiness. We start with PII inventory and data mapping to understand what personal information you collect and how it flows through your systems. We conduct gap analysis across ISO 27701 domains so you know what privacy controls are missing or incomplete. We design privacy controls that fit your business and technical environment, not generic templates. We provide implementation support working alongside your legal, product, and engineering teams. We conduct control testing before the audit to validate everything works. We prepare your team for the auditor’s questions and ensure your documentation is clear and complete. Essentially, we handle the heavy lifting so you arrive at the audit with confidence.

The audit has two main stages. Stage 1 is a readiness review where the auditor examines your documentation, privacy policies, data mapping, consent procedures, and governance structure. This typically takes 1-2 days and confirms you’re prepared for Stage 2. Stage 2 is control testing where the auditor observes your processes, interviews your team, reviews evidence that privacy controls operate, and tests whether they actually work. The auditor will ask to see your data access logs in operation, review recent breach responses, and understand how you handle data subject requests. The auditor produces findings. Non-conformities prevent certification and require remediation. Observations are improvements you should make but don’t block certification. If everything passes, you receive your three-year ISO 27701 certificate. You’ll then have annual surveillance audits to confirm controls remain effective and continue improving.

Most organizations complete the process in 3 to 6 months, depending on your current privacy maturity, PII complexity, and whether ISO 27001 is already in place. Organizations with existing ISO 27001 certification typically move faster because the security foundation is already established. You just need to add privacy-specific controls on top. With GRSee’s white-glove support, timelines are typically shorter because we handle the heavy lifting and keep your project moving. The timeline depends on your organization’s capacity to implement controls and your willingness to move quickly.

Yes, absolutely. Many organizations pursue both simultaneously to build their security and privacy programs in parallel. Starting with both frameworks together is actually efficient because ISO 27001 provides the foundation that ISO 27701 builds on. Your access controls, encryption, and incident management from ISO 27001 directly support your privacy requirements from ISO 27701. The alternative is getting ISO 27001 first, then adding ISO 27701 later. This takes longer but works if you’re just starting your security journey. We can help you plan either approach based on your timeline and organizational readiness. Most organizations find that doing both together saves time and money compared to sequential certifications.
