Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the ISO 27701 Toolkit and who should use it?
The ISO 27701 Toolkit is a set of ready-to-edit documents that help businesses set up a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It’s ideal for companies, consultants, and privacy teams who want to meet global data protection standards like GDPR and CCPA.
What does the ISO 27701 Toolkit include?
It includes 82 files: 63 customizable templates, 16 completed example documents, and 3 PDF guides. The templates cover the PIMS management system (clauses 4–10) as well as Annex A.1 controller controls, Annex A.2 processor controls, and Annex A.3 security controls — including privacy policies, consent forms, data transfer logs, PII assessments, retention schedules, breach registers, agreements, and internal procedures. All are provided in MS Word and Excel format, ready to tailor to your organization.
Does it cover both controller and processor roles?
Yes. The toolkit is split into dedicated Annex A.1 (PII controller) and Annex A.2 (PII processor) folders, each organized by privacy domain — collection and processing, PII principal rights, privacy by design, retention and disposal, and transfer and disclosure. Organizations acting in both roles can use the full set; single-role organizations can simply omit the folder that doesn’t apply and record this in the Statement of Applicability.
I am already certified to ISO 27701:2019 — does this help me transition?
Yes. The toolkit includes a dedicated ISO 27701:2019 to 2025 Transition Guide in the “00 Start Here” folder, explaining what has changed in the new edition and which documents you need to add or revise to move your existing PIMS across.
Is this toolkit compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other global laws?
Yes. The toolkit follows the ISO 27701:2025 standard, which aligns with major global privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. It’s designed to help organizations meet compliance needs across different regions.
Can I add my company name and logo to these templates?
Yes, the templates are fully editable. You can easily add your company name, logo, and specific privacy practices. The included sample texts are highlighted to show where customizations are needed.
Can this ISO 27701 Toolkit help with certification audits?
Absolutely. The documents are created by a CISSP-certified expert with 30+ years in the field, and the pack includes the mandatory certification artefacts auditors ask for — Statement of Applicability, privacy risk register and treatment plan, internal audit programme, management review records, and a nonconformity and corrective action log. Many companies have used this toolkit successfully to pass ISO 27701 audits and implement a solid privacy program.
