We are now ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) accredited to ISO/IEC 27701:2025 Privacy information management systems (PIMS) and ISO/IEC 27706:2025 Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of PIMS.
Paula Costa, Global Technical Manager, Digital Trust Assurance at SGS, said: “We are proud to receive this accreditation. We can now provide accredited certification against the latest version of ISO/IEC 27701, helping your organization strengthen privacy governance, build customer and stakeholder confidence, and show a clear commitment to responsible data processing.
“Thank you to everyone who contributed to the preparation, technical updates and transition arrangements. This is a great step forward for our SGS DIGITAL TRUST portfolio and for our continued support to clients navigating privacy, security and trust in an increasingly data-driven world.”
The 2025 edition provides an updated framework for demonstrating how organizations manage privacy risks and protect personally identifiable information (PII).
A PIMS helps organizations move beyond ad hoc privacy controls. It provides a structured way to define responsibilities, manage privacy risks, support legal and regulatory compliance, and demonstrate accountability in personal data processing.
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is a crucial evolution of the PIMS standard. It is now a stand-alone management system standard, making it easier for organizations to understand, implement and integrate it with their other ISO management systems.
