Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to implement a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS)?

The timeframe for implementation varies based on factors like organisation size, data complexity and existing readiness. The process typically takes several months to over a year. Working with our dedicated team of data protection consultants can expedite the process.

What Standards can support your organisation in demonstrating compliance with data protection regulations?

ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management and ISO/IEC 27002 Security Controls.

ISO 27001 provides a framework for ensuring the appropriate information security, cyber security and privacy controls are effectively implemented in your business.

ISO 27701 provides a framework for ensuring the appropriate protection and management of personal information.

Both Standards assist in demonstrating an ongoing commitment to compliance with information security, cyber security and data protection regulations around the world, including GDPR.

Teamwork’s data protection consultants can conduct reviews of your current level of compliance, including current data protection and information security policies, procedures and practices within your organisation and examine their effectiveness.

Teamwork can help your organisation to implement an ISO 27001 and 27701 compliant management system and ensure the effective implementation of adequate and proportionate information security, cyber security and data protection controls.

What is involved in implementing an ISO 27701 compliant privacy management system (PIMS)?

It typically involves activities such as a gap analysis, assigning clear accountability, roles and responsibilities, policy and data processing agreement updates, enhancing security controls, improving data security controls, training, auditing, establishing effective monitoring and measurement and reporting. Ongoing efforts are essential as compliance is not a one-time task. Regular review and adaptation to changing regulations and best practices are necessary to maintain compliance.

Can Teamwork IMS guarantee successful certification?

We have a 100% success rate guiding our clients through ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification, however, it’s important to note that the certification we support you through is carried by an entirely separate, UKAS accredited certification body and by its nature is not something we can ever guarantee. We believe that this gives you a level of compliance that is second to none.
