ISO 27701 PIMS — Extending Your ISMS into a Privacy Program

Controller and processor extensions, the GDPR crosswalk, and how PIMS certification changes DPA negotiations.

Published 1 October 2025 · Updated 8 April 2026

PIMS as an ISMS extension

ISO 27701 is not standalone — it extends an existing 27001-certified ISMS with controller-specific and processor-specific privacy controls.

The GDPR crosswalk

Annex D maps every control back to GDPR articles, which is why regulators and enterprise privacy teams increasingly accept PIMS as evidence of Article 32 accountability.
