This document specifies refinements for an application of EN ISO/IEC 27701 in a European context. This document is applicable to the same entities as is ISO/IEC 27701: all types and sizes of organizations, including public and private companies, government entities and not-for-profit organizations, which are PII controllers and/or PII processors processing PII within an ISMS (information security management system). An organization can use this document for the implementation of the generic requirements and controls of EN ISO/IEC 27701 according to its context and its applicable obligations. Certification criteria based on these refinements can provide a certification model under ISO/IEC 17065 for processing operations performed within the scope of a privacy information management system according to EN ISO/IEC 27701, which can be combined with certification requirements for EN ISO/IEC 27701 under ISO/IEC 17021.
