ISO 27701 (Privacy)

ISO 27701 Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

ISO 27701 extends ISO 27001 into a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). For Swiss organisations managing personal data at scale, it is a powerful tool to demonstrate nFADP and GDPR compliance through a certifiable framework.

Why ISO 27701 is the privacy standard Swiss organisations need

The nFADP requires organisations to protect personal data — but does not prescribe how. ISO 27701 provides the framework: a systematic, certifiable approach to privacy management that builds on your existing ISO 27001 ISMS.

I train your teams on the full ISO 27701 scope: understanding the standard's requirements, extending your ISMS to cover privacy, mapping controls to nFADP and GDPR obligations and preparing for certification.

For Swiss private banks, healthcare organisations and data processors, ISO 27701 certification is increasingly a competitive differentiator — demonstrating to clients and regulators that privacy is managed systematically, not ad hoc.

ISO 27701 turns privacy from a legal obligation into a certifiable management system: the highest standard of assurance.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Do I need ISO 27001 first?
Yes — ISO 27701 is an extension of ISO 27001. You can implement both in parallel, but 27001 is the foundation.
Does ISO 27701 cover the nFADP?
It provides a framework that maps well to nFADP requirements. We build the explicit mapping during the training.
How long does certification take?
If you already have ISO 27001, typically 3-6 months. From scratch, plan 9-15 months for both.
What is the commercial ROI?
ISO 27701 certification is increasingly required by international clients and gives a competitive edge in tenders.
