ISO/IEC 27701 – Privacy governance and protection
Privacy management and protection
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 sets out the requirements for a privacy information management system. It is intended for organizations acting as controllers or as processors of personal data, and makes it possible to structure the governance of that information on a lasting basis.
It is particularly relevant for organizations subject to Law 25, the GDPR, or other confidentiality requirements: healthcare, finance, insurance, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, human resources, SaaS, government, and companies that make intensive use of personal data or AI.
The approach helps to establish responsibilities, document processing activities, manage risks related to personal information, govern suppliers, improve retention and deletion practices, and demonstrate structured privacy governance.
Indicative effort: 3 to 7 months where an ISO/IEC 27001 foundation already exists; 80 to 220 internal person-hours and approximately 120 to 300 Quantum Beyond hours. An organization starting with very little documentation, or with numerous international processing activities, should plan for more.
Quantum Beyond can integrate the approach with the applicable legal requirements, cybersecurity, QKS, and AI governance so that data protection, security, and information use are addressed as a coherent whole.
The benefits include better control of personal data, reduced regulatory risk, a greater capacity to respond to client questionnaires, and a concrete demonstration of accountability toward the people whose information the organization holds.
The strategic nature of our engagements demands impeccable confidentiality.
All information about your organization, along with the documents, exchanges, and projects entrusted to Quantum Beyond, is handled with the strictest confidentiality. It is never published or used as a reference without your explicit authorization.
