Transition to ISO/IEC 27701:2025

The international standard for privacy information management systems (PIMS), ISO/IEC 27701, has recently been updated. The revised version, ISO/IEC 27701:2025, contains various substantive changes and additions compared to the previous edition (ISO/IEC 27701:2019). The most significant change is that the standard has been completely rewritten as a standalone management system standard.

The exact transition period for the implementation of ISO/IEC 27701:2025 has not yet been determined. This information will be added as soon as it becomes clearer.

  • Once the transition period and the associated requirements are known, an update with a clear step-by-step plan will follow.
  • If you hold a valid certification, it will remain valid on the basis of ISO/IEC 27701:2019.
