Compliance and Audit Preparation
ISO 27701
Consulting Services
Add structured privacy management to your security program, without reinventing everything.
ISO 27701 extends ISO 27001 by adding privacy requirements and controls through a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). Nexeris helps you implement ISO 27701 in a way that strengthens privacy governance, improves accountability, and supports global data protection expectations.

Strategic Value
Why ISO 27701 Matters
Privacy obligations keep increasing, and expectations are no longer limited to one region.
ISO 27701 gives you a structured, auditable way to manage privacy: responsibilities, processing transparency, risk assessment, vendor oversight, and ongoing improvement. For many organizations, it also helps align privacy work across different regulations and customer requirements.
Common reasons teams engage us:
- You handle personal data and need stronger privacy governance
- Customers and partners are asking tougher privacy questions during procurement
- You want a more consistent way to manage privacy risk and vendor obligations
- You already have ISO 27001 (or are pursuing it) and want to extend the program
Your ISO 27701 Engagement Includes
You’ll get a PIMS aligned to ISO 27701 requirements, built to integrate with your existing security management system and day-to-day operations.
PIMS Scope and Governance
- Define privacy scope, roles, and responsibilities across the organization
- Clarify controller vs. processor responsibilities where applicable
- Establish privacy governance cadence and documentation structure

- Practical guidance for privacy by design and default

- Control selection and implementation guidance for ISO 27701 requirements

Documentation and Evidence Readiness

- Evidence planning and artifact organization to support audits and customer reviews
- Consistency alignment with ISO 27001 documentation where applicable

Common Questions
Do we need ISO 27001 to implement ISO 27701?
ISO 27701 is designed as an extension to ISO 27001. Many organizations pursue them together or implement ISO 27701 after establishing an ISMS.
Is ISO 27701 the same as GDPR compliance?
No. GDPR is a regulation. ISO 27701 is a management system standard that helps you implement privacy governance and controls. It can support GDPR readiness, but it does not replace legal compliance work.
Do you help with data inventories and mapping?
Yes. We help you build the processing inventory and the level of data flow understanding needed to support the program.
Can ISO 27701 help with other privacy expectations?
Yes. It can help you manage privacy consistently across customer requirements and multiple regulations.
Who performs the certification audit?
An accredited certification body performs the external audit. We help you prepare, but we are not the certifier.
