ISO 27701 is an extension to ISO 27001 Information Security Management System and is a standard that specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). The PIMS is designed to help organizations protect the privacy of individuals' personal data and comply with data protection regulations.

Privacy is a fundamental right, and organizations must take appropriate measures to protect the personal information of individuals. The ISO 27701 standard helps organizations demonstrate their commitment to privacy and establish a privacy management framework that identifies, manages, and reduces privacy risks. Certification to ISO 27701 provides organizations with a competitive advantage by demonstrating to customers, regulators, and other stakeholders that the organization is committed to protecting personal information and complying with privacy regulations.

Certification to ISO 27701 provides organizations with several benefits, including:

• Enhanced trust: Certification demonstrates to customers, regulators, and other stakeholders that the organization takes privacy seriously and has implemented appropriate measures to protect personal information.
• Competitive advantage: Certification can give organizations a competitive edge by demonstrating their commitment to privacy and compliance with privacy regulations.
• Improved efficiency: Implementing a PIMS can help organizations identify and manage privacy risks more effectively, reducing the risk of data breaches and improving operational efficiency.
• Regulatory Compliance: The Privacy Landscape in the region has been thriving with privacy laws and personal data protection regulations. By implementing PIMS, organizations can align their privacy programs with the emerging regulations and minimize potential non-compliance repercussions.

The ISO 27701 standard specifies several requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a PIMS, including:

• Conducting a privacy risk assessment to identify and evaluate privacy risks. 
• Developing and implementing a privacy policy and privacy objectives.
•  Establishing and implementing a privacy information management system.
• Monitoring and reviewing the PIMS to ensure its effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.
