ISO 27701:2019 Implementation Suite

Safeguarding privacy is now more crucial than ever. The ISO 27701:2019 Implementation Suite by Sange Solutions provides a comprehensive toolkit to help your organization seamlessly extend its existing ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) and implement a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that meets global privacy standards.

Why ISO 27701:2019 Matters

ISO 27701:2019 is an extension of ISO 27001 and ISO 27002, specifically focusing on managing personally identifiable information (PII). It is the international standard for Privacy Information Management and helps organizations establish, maintain, and improve a PIMS. With increasing global data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, implementing ISO 27701 ensures that your organization is compliant with these laws while also strengthening your overall information security posture.

By simplifying the implementation process, the suite ensures your organization is fully compliant with privacy laws while securing sensitive information.
