ISO 2770:2019 1 is a data privacy extension to ISO 27001:2013. This newly published information security standard guides organizations looking to put in place systems to support compliance with GDPR and other data privacy requirements. It reduces risk to privacy rights and to the organization by enhancing our existing ‘gold standard’ Information Security Management System – ISO 27001. While more than 60,000 organizations worldwide have certified to date to ISO 27001, only a small group of leading companies have certified to the new ISO 27701.
