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.
Developments surrounding accreditation and transition are being closely monitored. As soon as more is known about the transition period and the practical consequences for current and new certifications, this will be communicated.
