ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is the international standard for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) — a structured framework for managing personal data (PII), consent, data subject/principal rights, and privacy risk. Following its 2025 revision, ISO 27701 is now independently certifiable — you no longer need to hold ISO 27001 first. London Cert Ltd conducts the audit directly, and your certificate is issued with genuine IAF accreditation through our accredited certification partner.
Until the 2025 revision, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 worked exactly like ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 still do today — it was an extension that could only be certified by adding it to an existing ISO 27001 ISMS. That changed with ISO/IEC 27701:2025. The standard has been restructured with its own Clauses 4–10, mirroring the standard ISO management system format, and can now be implemented and certified as a fully independent Privacy Information Management System — with or without ISO 27001.
A companion standard, ISO/IEC 27706, has also been introduced specifically to set competence requirements for certification bodies auditing PIMS — giving this newly independent standard the same kind of dedicated accreditation infrastructure that ISO 27001 has long had.
💡 If you already hold, or need, ISO 27001 for general information security reasons, integrating ISO 27701 into the same management system remains the most efficient path — Clauses 4–10 overlap significantly, reducing duplicated governance and audit effort. Standalone certification is most valuable for organisations whose primary driver is privacy rather than broader information security.
ISO 27701 structures your organisation's approach to personal data around two roles — PII Controller (the party that decides why and how personal data is processed) and PII Processor (the party processing data on a controller's behalf) — with Annex A controls now unified and mapped to both. Core requirements include:
Privacy governance and leadership: documented privacy policy, accountability, and management commitment.
Consent management: systems for capturing, recording, and honouring consent, including withdrawal.
Data subject / data principal rights: processes to handle access, correction, deletion, and portability requests.
Privacy risk assessment: a structured approach to identifying and treating privacy-specific risks, distinct from general security risk.
Breach notification: documented procedures for detecting and reporting privacy breaches to regulators and affected individuals.
Critical: Only certificates issued by IAF-accredited bodies are genuinely valid for GeM, CPPP, and international procurement. India has thousands of fraudulent ISO bodies selling unaccredited certificates that are regularly rejected by compliance teams. London Cert is IAF-accredited — every ISO 27701:2025 certificate we issue is verifiable at verify.londoncert.co.uk.
Where ISO 27018 speaks specifically to cloud providers acting as PII processors, ISO 27701 speaks more directly to the obligations the DPDP Act places on Data Fiduciaries — the Indian legal near-equivalent of a PII Controller. The DPDP Rules require clear privacy notices, verifiable consent mechanisms, a defined process for honouring Data Principal rights (access, correction, erasure), and breach notification to the Data Protection Board — all of which map directly onto ISO 27701's controller-side controls. With the Consent Manager framework going live on 13 November 2026 and full DPDP compliance due by 13 May 2027, a certified PIMS gives Data Fiduciaries an audited, internationally recognised way to demonstrate these specific obligations are systematically managed, not improvised.

Why we don't publish exact prices: ISO 27701:2025 Certification certification cost depends on your specific company size, number of locations, number of employees, industry, and documentation complexity. A fixed published price would either overcharge small businesses or undercharge complex ones. Contact us for a personalised, binding quote within 24 hours — specific to your business.
More employees = more audit time. Audit duration is directly tied to your employee count and the scope of operations being certified.
Each additional location may require separate or extended audit time. Multi-site certifications are priced accordingly — contact us to discuss.
Simple service businesses have fewer process documents than complex manufacturing operations. Documentation scope directly affects cost.
If you already have some quality management processes documented, less preparation work is needed — which can reduce the overall cost.
Remote audits are available for all businesses and are typically more cost-effective. On-site audits are available for clients who need or prefer physical presence.
Most certification companies require you to hire a separate consultant to prepare documentation — and then pay the certification company for the audit on top. London Cert does both. This integrated approach saves time and significantly reduces total cost.
