The ISO/IEC 27701 Transition training explains how to move an existing PIMS from ISO/IEC 27701:2019 to ISO/IEC 27701:2025 and adapt it to the new requirements.
The ISO/IEC 27701 Transition training explains how to transition an existing Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) from ISO/IEC 27701:2019 to ISO/IEC 27701:2025. It focuses on the structural changes introduced by the new version and their concrete impact on governance, controls, and audit readiness.
This transition has become critical in the 2024–2025 context. ISO/IEC 27701:2025 introduces a major shift by decoupling the PIMS from ISO/IEC 27001 and reorganizing privacy controls around the roles of PII controller, PII processor, and shared responsibilities. Organizations certified or aligned with the 2019 version must now demonstrate their ability to integrate these changes.
The training provides a structured analysis of changes to clauses 4 through 10, including organizational context, leadership, planning, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement. It also clarifies the new control categorization and how references to ISO/IEC 27002 can still be used where relevant.
In practice, participants learn how to identify gaps, update PIMS documentation, and build a defensible transition plan without dismantling existing governance structures.
This course is designed for professionals already operating a PIMS who need a controlled, audit-ready transition aligned with certification expectations.
In our experience, many organizations underestimate the impact of ISO/IEC 27701:2025. Removing the dependency on ISO/IEC 27001 requires revisiting responsibilities, documentation structure, and sometimes governance models.
Successful transitions start with a clause-level analysis, not with annex updates. Strong teams clearly document what changes, what remains valid, and why. Auditors expect this reasoning.
Another critical point is control reclassification by PII role. Organizations that continue to rely solely on ISO/IEC 27002 mappings expose themselves to audit findings.
““The ISO 27701 transition is not a documentation exercise; it forces a rethink of the PIMS logic.””
