ISO 27701 Compliance Software
Privacy Information Management. Narrate gives you everything you need to achieve and maintain ISO 27701 certification — privacy controls, data processing records, DPIA management, and GDPR alignment.
What is ISO 27701?
ISO 27701 is an extension to ISO 27001 that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It provides guidance for PII controllers and PII processors, mapping directly to GDPR requirements. The standard helps organisations demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations through a structured management system approach.
How Narrate helps with ISO 27701
Common ISO 27701 challenges
ISO 27701 readiness trips up even experienced teams. Here's what slows people down.
ISO 27001 Extension Complexity
ISO 27701 builds on ISO 27001, requiring organisations to maintain both management systems simultaneously with additional privacy-specific controls.
Data Processing Inventory
Maintaining comprehensive records of processing activities across all business functions, third parties, and data flows is resource-intensive.
GDPR Alignment
Mapping ISO 27701 controls to specific GDPR articles and demonstrating regulatory compliance requires deep expertise in both frameworks.
