ISO/IEC 27701:2025 Is Coming - Final Voting on the Standard Has Begun

On May 8, 2025, the final approval process for the updated version of ISO/IEC 27701 officially began. This privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001 – known as the Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) – has reached Stage 50.20, where ISO member countries vote on the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS).

What Does Stage 50.20 Mean?

Stage 50.20 indicates that the final draft of the standard has been submitted for an 8-week ballot. This is one of the last steps before official publication. If the vote passes, the new standard will be published as ISO/IEC 27701:2025.

Why the Update?

The revision of ISO/IEC 27701 aims to address:

  • Alignment with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (recently revised),
  • Increasing global focus on data privacy and compliance,
  • The evolution of legal frameworks such as GDPR and CCPA,
  • Better guidance for organizations managing personal information in a digital world.

When Will ISO/IEC 27701:2025 Be Published?

If the final vote is successful, the publication is expected in the second half of 2025. Based on standard ISO timelines, this means the updated version could be available as early as Q3 2025.

What Should Organizations Do Now?

Organizations already certified to ISO/IEC 27701:2019 should monitor the revision process and prepare for transition planning.
