ISO 27701 Consultancy
At Blackmores, we are ISO consultants for all different ISO certifications, one of which is ISO 27701 – Privacy Information Management.
Working with an ISO 27701 consultant
If you are new to ISO standards or have previously managed them in-house, then working with an ISO consultant may seem daunting, but we are here to help you. Our job is to make achieving your ISO as straightforward and stress-free as possible. We help you by advising organisational changes and helping you implement new systems to give you a better chance of passing your certification with flying colours.
If you are looking for an ISO 27701 consultant to work with or a consultant for any ISO standard, then please contact us today – we can help you no matter where you are in your ISO journey.
What is ISO 27701?
This is a newly established standard to help organisations implement and develop Information Security around Personally Identifiable Information (PII). It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 27001 to specifically address security controls around PII, both for Data Controllers and processors. This standard provides an additional set of controls to be followed by Data Controllers and Data Processors.
We have ISO 27001, why do we need ISO 27701?
Enhancing your existing management system established under ISO 27001 is clearly a choice based on business and customer needs. Whilst ISO 27001 is an excellent standard to prove compliance with information security best practices, its controls are fairly generic and, by their nature, do not focus in any detail on specific aspects of security. ISO 27701 addresses the gap between the existing controls and the requirements of the latest Data Protection and GDPR requirements.
Essentially, it will enable your business to communicate to the world that you have taken PII security to heart and are working on best practice controls to reduce and mitigate risks associated with non-compliance with data protection laws.
Do we need ISO 27701 if we have BS 10012?
If you already have certification to BS 10012, consider transitioning to ISO 27701, as the international standard is more aligned with your existing ISO 27001.
As an ISO 27701 consultant, our experience has shown that the step between the two standards is very small, and the transition is relatively easy if your management system under BS 10012 is healthy.

What our clients have to say
We engaged Blackmores to develop our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 management system from scratch. Throughout the creation and development stages of our ISO journey, Anju Punetha demonstrated remarkable patience, knowledge, and understanding as our dedicated consultant.
During our internal audit preparations, Ian Battersby’s meticulous attention to detail and thorough approach ensured we were well-prepared for our external audit, which we passed with flying colours. His guidance during the external audit was invaluable.
Based on our engagement and experience, I highly recommend the entire Blackmores team. If you’re considering pursuing ISO accreditations, Blackmores should be your first choice.
