General Information
Overview
EN 17926:2023 provides European refinements to ISO/IEC 27701 for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). Published by CEN, the standard adapts the generic ISO/IEC 27701 requirements and controls to the European legal context-most notably to support implementation under the EU GDPR (Regulation 2016/679). EN 17926 is applicable to all types and sizes of organisations acting as PII controllers and/or PII processors and is intended for use by organisations, certification bodies, accreditation bodies and regulators.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Defines how to determine the PIMS scope, including interfaces and dependencies between internal and external PII processing activities.
- Refinements to ISO/IEC 27701 controls: Specifies which controls from ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A, ISO/IEC 27701 Annex A (controllers) and Annex B (processors) apply and when they are mandatory in a European/GDPR context.
- Statement of Applicability (SoA): Requires an SoA that lists necessary controls, justification for inclusion/exclusion, and implementation status - Annexes A/B/C cannot be excluded if in-scope.
- Data Protection Officer (DPO): Clarifies DPO appointment criteria and expectations - sufficient resources, reporting to top management, involved in PII protection issues, publicly available contact details, and independence from instructions.
- Risk assessment and treatment: Controls must be assessed for both information security and privacy risks to PII principals; applicability checks must reference Annex A/B/C.
- Certification models: Provides a basis for certification criteria under ISO/IEC 17065 for product/process/service PII processing and combination models with ISO/IEC 17021 for management system certification (see informative Annex D).
- GDPR relationship: Informative mapping to GDPR obligations and use of standard content for data protection certification mechanisms (Annex E).
Practical applications
Who uses EN 17926 and why:
- Organisations (public/private/not-for-profit): to implement a PIMS aligned with GDPR and demonstrate compliance through documented controls and SoA.
- Certification bodies: to develop certification schemes that assess PIMS conformity and processing operations (ISO/IEC 17065 and ISO/IEC 17021 models).
- Accreditation bodies and regulators: to establish certification mechanisms and criteria for data protection certification (GDPR Article 42).
- Service providers and vendors: to design products, services, or processes that process PII in ways that meet European refinements and support customer assurance.
Related standards
- ISO/IEC 27701 (PIMS extension to ISO/IEC 27001/27002)
- EN ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (Information Security Management)
- ISO/IEC 17021 (management system certification)
- ISO/IEC 17065 (product/process/service certification)
- ISO/IEC 17067 (type 6 certification schemes)

Introduction
ISO/IEC 27701 specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing,
maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) which can be
implemented in any jurisdiction. As a management system designed for international use, its
requirements are generic, and the guidance can be adapted by the organizations according to their
context and applicable obligations.
Although ISO/IEC 27701 was written with the intention to be applicable under any jurisdiction, including
under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (ISO/IEC 27701 Annex D contains a mapping
between clauses of the standard and GDPR), it is the responsibility of the organization to determine how
to implement requirements and controls of ISO/IEC 27701 in the context of the GDPR.
This document provides refinements to ISO/IEC 27701 in the application of controls and guidance in
ISO/IEC 27701 specific to GDPR where necessary. 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). This is intended to be used by organizations
in the GDPR context for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with their obligations. ISO/IEC 27701
combined with the refinements of this document constitutes a set of requirements which is more
specifically designed and fit for the context of GDPR than the generic ones from ISO/IEC 27701 alone.
Thus ISO/IEC 27701 can be considered as an international framework, which can be refined for a
particular regional context (in the case of this document, the GDPR), and even to add requirements fit for
a given jurisdiction/country or sector (out of scope of this document).
The refinements to ISO/IEC 27701, for processing operations as part of products, processes, and services
specified in this document can be used for conformity assessment which can be conducted, either by first,
second, or third parties. In particular, certification bodies can use these requirements and refinements to
assess the conformity of both a privacy information management system per ISO/IEC 17021 and the
processing operations of a product, process or service per ISO/IEC 17065. Certification schemes for
products involving PII processing can reference this document, as described in ISO/IEC 17067 for “type
6” schemes.
NOTE “product” can be read as “process” or “service” (ISO/IEC 17065, Clause 1 and Annex B).
The requirements in this document can be part of scheme governed under both ISO/IEC 17065 for the
requirements on products involving PII processing activities (“products requirements” as per
ISO/IEC 17065 Clause 3.8) and ISO/IEC 17021 for the management system requirements
(ISO/IEC 17067 type 6 scheme).
GDPR Article 42 encourages the establishment of data protection certification mechanisms. Provisions of
this document can be used by competent bodies to specify data protection certification mechanisms as
per GDPR article 42 in order to assess the conformity of processing operations in the PIMS as per
ISO/IEC 17065 including assessment of privacy information management system systematic elements as
allowed by Clause 6 of ISO/IEC 17067.
1 Scope
This document specifies refinements for an application of 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 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 ISO/IEC 27701, which can be combined with certification requirements for ISO/IEC 27701
under ISO/IEC 17021.

5 Privacy information management system for PII processing operations
The organization shall establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a PIMS as defined in
ISO/IEC 27701.
The organization shall determine the PII processing operations within the scope of the management
system (ISO/IEC 27701, 5.2.3).
ISO/IEC 27701:2021, 5.2.3 is refined as follows:
When determining this scope, the organization shall consider interfaces and dependencies between PII
processing activities internal and external to the organization.
EN ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 6.1.3 c) is refined as follows:
The controls determined in ISO/IEC 27001:2013 6.1.3 b) shall be compared with the controls in Annex A,
Annex B and/or Annex C to verify that no necessary controls have been omitted.
When assessing the applicability of control objectives and controls from Annex A for the treatment of
risks, the control objectives and controls shall be considered in the context of both risks to information
security as well as risks related to the processing of PII, including risks to PII principals.
EN ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 6.1.3 d) is refined as follows:
Produce a Statement of Applicability that contains:
— the necessary controls [see ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 6.1.3 b) and c) as refined Cove];
— justification for their inclusion;
— whether the necessary controls are implemented or not; and
— the justification for excluding any of the controls in Annex A, and in Annex B and/or Annex C
according to the organization’s determination of its role (see ISO/IEC 27701, 5.2.1).
Annexes A, B, C specify which controls that the organization shall implement, depending on the role of
the organization. Therefore, these controls cannot be excluded.
6 Requirement for PII processing operations
For all PII processing operations as determined in Clause 5, the organization shall implement the controls
required per Annexes A, B, C depending on the role of the organization (see ISO/IEC 27701, 5.2.1).
Annex A
(normative)
Information security and privacy controls
This annex is for use by all organizations, whatever their role is (acting as PII controller, PII processor, or
both). This annex lists all the controls from ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Annex A and states where extensions to
those controls are included in ISO/IEC 27701 and where refinements in a European context are
applicable.
In Table A.1, references to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 controls are of two types:
— references to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 controls in the form “The control ISO/IEC 27001:2013 [control
number A.x.y.z] applies.” mean that the organization shall consider the applicability of the control
according to its risk assessment (ISO/IEC 27701, 5.4.1.2) and risk treatment (ISO/IEC 27701,
5.4.1.3);
— requirements in the form “The organization shall implement control ISO/IEC 27001:2013 [control
number A.x.y.z], following the additional guidance in .”; mean that the organization shall implement
all these controls following the related guidance to fulfil the general requirements in Clause 6 (in all
cases, whatever the risk assessment and the risk treatment in the management system). Some
controls of this type include additional refinements to the guidance of ISO/IEC 27701 in line with the
scope of this document.
NOTE Clause numbers in this annex relate to the subclause numbers in ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Annex A.
