ISO 27701

ISO 27701 extends ISO 27001 with privacy information management. Organizations use it to demonstrate GDPR alignment through a certifiable standard, which lands better with enterprise customers than a self-declared privacy program.

Who it applies to

Organizations that already hold or pursue ISO 27001 and want certified privacy management on top, typically because enterprise customers or data protection officers ask for proof beyond a policy document.

What OptiTech provides

• The privacy control extension: PIMS controls layered on your existing ISO 27001 program
• Controller and processor guidance: the standard's requirements differ depending on your role; OptiTech scopes both
• Shared evidence: privacy controls draw on the same evidence log as ISO 27001 and GDPR, so nothing is collected twice
• Documentation: privacy policies and records aligned with your existing ISMS documents

What non-compliance costs

ISO 27701 is voluntary, but without it, proving GDPR alignment to enterprise customers means answering bespoke privacy questionnaires deal by deal.

Cross-mapping

ISO 27701 requires ISO 27001 as its base and overlaps almost entirely with GDPR. If both are active, adding 27701 is a small increment.
