Build, manage and prove a Privacy Information Management System that works in practice, not just on paper. de.iterate helps organisations achieve and maintain ISO 27701 with one integrated platform for policies, privacy risks, assets, evidence, audits and continuous assurance.

ISO 27701 is the international standard for extending an Information Security Management System into a Privacy Information Management System, or PIMS. It gives organisations a structured, risk-based way to manage personal information, strengthen privacy governance, and demonstrate accountability to customers, partners and regulators.

The problem is not the standard itself. The problem is how most organisations try to implement it.

Privacy notices get written once and forgotten. Data handling obligations sit across disconnected policies and spreadsheets. Privacy risks are poorly documented or not reviewed often enough. Evidence ends up scattered across folders, inboxes and legacy systems. Audit preparation becomes a scramble. What should be a living privacy management system turns into a stressful, once-a-year project. de.iterate changes that by turning ISO 27701 into a practical, ongoing way of working.

What is ISO 27701?

ISO 27701 is an internationally recognised framework for managing privacy and personal information. It extends ISO 27001 and helps organisations identify privacy risks, implement appropriate controls, assign responsibility, demonstrate accountability, and continually improve over time.

In plain English: it is a structured way to manage personal information responsibly and show that privacy is being taken seriously.

Done properly, ISO 27701 helps you move beyond reactive privacy compliance and build a privacy management system that is clear, defensible and scalable. It is not about creating more paperwork. It is about putting the right privacy controls, responsibilities and evidence in place for your organisation.

What is de.iterate?

de.iterate makes ISO 27701 implementation simpler, clearer and more sustainable.

Instead of stitching together Word documents, spreadsheets, shared folders and manual reminders, you get one integrated platform that helps you manage the full lifecycle of your ISMS. Policies, training, risk registers, asset registers, evidence, assurance tasks, audits and reporting all sit in one place — connected, current and easier to maintain.

A lot of compliance tools help you collect activity. de.iterate helps you build assurance. This means your policies align to the way your business actually works. Your evidence connects to the right risks, assets and controls. Your audit trail makes sense. And your management system becomes something the business can maintain — not something it has to reinvent every year. 

This is the difference between a platform that helps you prepare for an annual audit and one that helps you run a genuinely effective ISMS.

multiple-frameworks

Scale compliance with confidence

Extend your program into other standards (like ISO 9001, ISO 42001, ISO 45001) and frameworks without starting from scratch.

Identify gaps earlier & act faster

de.iterate helps you see where your compliance program is strong, and where it needs work. By giving you a clearer view of your documentation, controls, evidence and assurance activity, the platform makes it easier to run a practical gap assessment, prioritise actions and close issues before they become audit problems.

migrate-faster

Migrate quickly & easily

Moving to a better compliance platform shouldn’t mean rebuilding your entire management system. de.iterate’s Management System Migration Tool helps you bring across existing policies, registers and supporting documentation from legacy systems, so you can transition faster and preserve the work you’ve already done.

Everything you need to run and prove compliance

Governance and policy management

Create, manage and distribute policy content through Policy Management, Policy Reader, Dynamic Privacy Policy, the Control Library, the Integrated Management System Guide and the Compliance Documentation Repository. Keep critical documents current, readable and connected to the frameworks and controls they support.

Assurance and evidence

Operationalise your compliance program through automated Assurance Tasks, Checklists, and our Compliance Calendar. Store contextual evidence that maps directly to specific controls. Turn your organisation's compliance program into a repeatable workflow with clear ownership, less chasing and stronger audit trails.

Risk and operational registers

Manage what matters most to your organisation through our embedded risk management approach, with a Risk Register, Asset Register, Supplier Register, Incident Register and Privacy Register. Bring all your scope, ownership, treatment plans, classifications and review cycles together in one easy-to-use platform.

Automation where it helps. Context where it matters.

Plenty of platforms promise automation. de.iterate goes further by making that automation useful.

We don't just help you collect evidence. We help you understand whether the evidence is connected to the right risk, the right asset, the right control and the right process. We don't just store policies. We help you keep them aligned to the way your business actually operates. We don't just prepare you for an audit. We help you build a management system that stays healthy long after the audit is over.

That is the difference between a tool that creates activity and a platform that creates assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Luckily, we've got answers!

After all, we're here to help you get your ducks in a row.

How long does it take to get certified to ISO 27701?

The ISO 27701 certification process can take anywhere from a few hours to 3 months, depending on your pace. Once you’re onboard in de.iterate, you’ll have all the tools and information you need to get certified in the fastest, easiest way possible.

Does de.iterate perform the ISO 27701 audit?

If we could, we would. But—unfortunately—the ISO Standard itself forbids us from doing this (ISO 17021 Section 5.2.5). We can’t be both your enabler and your auditor. Don’t worry though, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re audit-ready!

What are ISO 27701 audits like?

The thought of an ISO 27701 audit might be a bit nerve-racking. But it needn’t be. Auditors are people too! Plus, you’ll have a secret weapon up your sleeve: de.iterate! With de.iterate on your team, you’ll have all the information and evidence you need to answer auditor questions easily and stress-free. Auditors love de.iterate. They know that a company that uses de.iterate properly has all their ducks in a row come audit day.

Can de.iterate be on-site during my ISO 27701 audit?

Yes, we can organise to attend your next ISO 27701 audit either virtually or in-person. Talk to one of the team today about your options at hello@deiterate.com.

How often will I be audited for ISO 27701 certification?

The ISO 27701 audit cycle runs for 3 years, and you will be audited each year. Your initial certifying audit is actually two audits combined. These are commonly referred to as a Stage-1 Audit, and a Certifying Audit.

A Stage-1 Audit is a short review of your documentation to make sure you are ready for certification. With de.iterate on your team, a Stage-1 audit is very relaxed. All the ISO concepts are provided for you by the platform and our auditor will love the easy-to-use interface.

A Certifying Audit is usually longer than a Stage-1 Audit. It take a few days. During this audit, you will show the auditor evidence of how you have implemented the concepts from Stage-1.

Simple pricing, based on the frameworks you need

de.iterate pricing is structured around the compliance frameworks you choose to access, giving you the flexibility to build a program that fits your organisation’s needs. Every plan includes access to the de.iterate platform and its feature set, from automated and expert-led onboarding, through to migration support, assurance workflows, live registers, compliance reporting and the core documentation needed to run and maintain your management system with confidence.
