Compare 13 ISO/IEC 27701 partners delivering Privacy Information Management System programmes that extend an existing ISO 27001 management system with privacy-specific controls for personally identifiable information controllers and processors. Engagements cover the gap assessment against annex-A and annex-B controls, the integration with GDPR Article 24 and Article 28 obligations, the mapping into CCPA, CPRA, the UK Data Protection Act, the Brazilian LGPD, and the Singapore PDPA, the records of processing activities, the data-protection impact assessment workflow, the supplier-management programme for processors and sub-processors, the data-subject rights handling and consent-management evidence, the cross-border transfer mechanism documentation, and the certification-readiness work with accredited bodies including BSI, DNV, Schellman, and A-LIGN. Listings cover Big Four privacy practices, global SI privacy teams, accredited certifiers, and the privacy-engineering pure-play boutiques. No partner pays for placement on this directory.
ISO 27701 engagements break into four typical workstreams. Scope and gap assessment, where the partner confirms the controller, processor, or joint-controller role for each in-scope processing activity, runs the gap analysis against annex-A and annex-B, reuses existing ISO 27001 evidence where the management-system boundary aligns, and identifies the legal-basis, records-of-processing, and cross-border-transfer documentation gaps. Design and implementation, where the partner stands up the records of processing activities, the data-protection impact assessment workflow, the data-subject rights handling pipeline, the consent and lawful-basis registers, the privacy-notice and transparency artefacts, the supplier-and-sub-processor management programme with Article 28 contract templates, and the international-transfer mechanism documentation including standard contractual clauses and transfer impact assessments. Operations and audit cycle, where the partner builds the internal-audit programme, the management-review cadence, the personal-data breach response runbook, the regulator notification and data-subject communication templates, and the metrics dashboard for the data protection officer. Certification readiness, where the partner runs the pre-assessment dry run, prepares the stage-one and stage-two evidence pack, and supports the engagement with the chosen accredited certification body.
Three procurement archetypes recur. Big Four privacy practices (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY) lead where ISO 27701 sits inside a multi-jurisdictional privacy programme spanning GDPR, UK Data Protection Act, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, and PDPA obligations, and where the buying centre wants DPO advisory and regulator-engagement support. Global SIs (Accenture, Capgemini) lead where the engagement bundles privacy-by-design engineering with the management system and where the technology footprint requires integration into Salesforce, ServiceNow, or SAP customer-data flows. India-heritage SIs (TCS, Wipro) lead on processor-side PIMS programmes for outsourced operations. Accredited certifiers (BSI, DNV, Schellman) cannot also implement the PIMS but provide audit and certification. Boutique privacy-engineering specialists (Tsaaro, The Privacy Compliance Hub) lead on the deepest technical controls. Friction point: ISO 27701 certification is conditional on a current ISO 27001 certificate covering the same scope; organisations attempting 27701 without a defensible 27001 foundation routinely fail stage-one audit and rework adds three to six months.
