Implement a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) and demonstrate compliance with GDPR, DPDP Act 2023 and global privacy regulations.

ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management System consulting India — ajnaa

ISO 27701 — Privacy Information Management System

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is the international standard for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It extends ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 with additional privacy-specific requirements — giving organisations a globally recognised, certifiable framework to manage personal information.

Certification demonstrates to customers, regulators and business partners that your organisation has robust privacy controls in place — directly supporting compliance with GDPR, India's DPDP Act 2023, CCPA, PDPA and other privacy laws worldwide.

🔍

ISO 27701 vs ISO 27001 — How They Work Together

ISO 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO 27001. If you already have ISO 27001 implemented, adding ISO 27701 is significantly faster and more cost-effective — you build on the foundation you already have.

🏛️ISO 27001 (ISMS) — Information Security Management: confidentiality, integrity & availability.
🔒ISO 27701 (PIMS) — Privacy layer extending ISO 27001 with PII Controller & PII Processor controls.
Combined Value — One integrated audit, one set of evidence, multiple compliance outcomes.

Our Engagement Approach

1
Scoping & Current State Review

Define PIMS scope, identify personal data assets and processing activities, map third-party data flows and assess applicable privacy obligations (GDPR, DPDP Act, CCPA etc.).

2
Gap Assessment

Evaluate current privacy controls against all ISO 27701 Annex clauses for PII Controller (Annex B) and PII Processor (Annex C) — producing a prioritised findings report with remediation guidance.

3
PIMS Design & Policy Development

Design PIMS integrated with your existing ISMS. Develop privacy policies, ROPA, consent mechanisms, data subject rights procedures and breach response playbooks.

4
Control Implementation

Hands-on implementation of privacy controls with full documentation, evidence collection and staff training to ensure sustainable compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

ISO 27701 is an extension to ISO 27001 — you need ISO 27001 implemented (though not necessarily certified) as the foundation. If starting from scratch, ajnaa can implement both simultaneously, which is often more efficient and cost-effective than doing them separately.
ISO 27701 provides a structured, certifiable framework that directly addresses core DPDP Act obligations — consent management, data minimisation, security safeguards, data subject rights (access, erasure, correction) and breach notification. An ISO 27701 certification gives regulators and customers certified, auditable evidence of privacy compliance.
If ISO 27001 is already implemented, ISO 27701 certification typically takes 3–6 months. Starting from scratch alongside ISO 27001 typically takes 9–12 months. Timeline depends on organisation size, data processing complexity and current privacy maturity.
A PII Controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. an employer managing employee or customer data). A PII Processor processes data on behalf of a Controller (e.g. a SaaS vendor, payroll provider). ISO 27701 Annex B covers Controller controls and Annex C covers Processor controls. Many organisations act as both and must address both Annexes.

DPDP
🇮🇳 India — DPDP Act 2023

Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act Consulting

India's landmark DPDP Act, 2023 introduces comprehensive obligations for every organisation processing personal data of Indian residents. Non-compliance can attract penalties up to ₹250 crore per incident. ajnaa helps you achieve compliance efficiently and confidently.

Maximum Penalty Per Breach Incident
2023
Act Enacted by Parliament of India
All Sectors
Private & Public Organisations
Global
Extraterritorial Reach

What is the DPDP Act, 2023?

The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 is India's first comprehensive data protection legislation. It governs the collection, storage, processing and transfer of personal data of individuals (Data Principals) by organisations (Data Fiduciaries) operating in India or processing data of Indian residents.

The Act establishes a rights-based framework giving individuals greater control over their personal data, while laying down clear accountability measures for organisations. The Data Protection Board of India (DPBI) enforces the Act with the power to impose significant financial penalties.

Whether you're a startup or large enterprise — if you handle personal data of Indian citizens, DPDP compliance is mandatory and urgent.

Lawful & Consensual Processing
Personal data must be processed only with consent of the Data Principal or for specified legitimate uses.
🎯
Purpose Limitation
Data collected for one purpose cannot be repurposed without fresh, specific consent from the data subject.
🗂️
Data Minimisation
Only data necessary to fulfil the stated purpose should be collected and retained.
🔐
Security Safeguards
Data Fiduciaries must implement reasonable security measures and notify authorities promptly of personal data breaches.
🧹
Erasure & Retention Limits
Personal data must be erased once the purpose for which it was collected is fulfilled.

DPDP — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the DPDP Act and GDPR?+
The DPDP Act is India's own data protection law inspired by GDPR but tailored to the Indian context. Key differences include: DPDP applies specifically to digital personal data, introduces "Consent Manager" as a registered entity, and has different penalty structures. GDPR-compliant organisations still need a dedicated DPDP assessment.
When does DPDP compliance become mandatory?+
The DPDP Act was enacted in August 2023. The Government is notifying specific sections and issuing implementing rules. Organisations should begin their compliance journey now — assessments, policy updates and consent frameworks take significant time to implement properly.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?+
The DPDP Act prescribes penalties up to ₹250 crore for failure to implement adequate security safeguards leading to a data breach. The Data Protection Board of India (DPBI) investigates complaints and imposes penalties based on the severity of the breach.
Does DPDP Act apply to organisations outside India?+
Yes. The DPDP Act has extraterritorial reach — it applies to the processing of digital personal data of individuals in India, even if the processing is done by an organisation outside India in connection with offering goods or services to Indian individuals.
How long does a DPDP compliance engagement take?+
A gap assessment typically takes 3–6 weeks. Full implementation — policy development, consent management and staff training — generally takes 3–9 months depending on your organisation's size and complexity.
