Privacy Control Crosswalk: ISO 27701:2025 to GDPR and DPDP

A practical cybersecurity checklist designed to help organizations assess risks, improve compliance, and strengthen security controls.

✓ Included in this Checklist

What's Inside?

ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is now a standalone privacy standard. India's DPDP Rules were notified in November 2025, with substantive compliance obligations kicking in by May 2027. If your organization operates under GDPR and needs to align with DPDP (or is pursuing 27701 certification alongside either), you're cross-referencing three frameworks manually.

This mapping does that work for you.

It aligns 82 ISO/IEC 27701:2025 subclauses to their corresponding GDPR articles and DPDP Act 2023/Rules 2025 sections, covering:

Key Focus Areas

Security controls (encryption, access control, breach notification, logging)
Controller obligations (consent, notice, data minimization, cross-border transfers, erasure)
Processor responsibilities (contractual safeguards, sub-processing, data return/deletion)
Management system requirements (DPIA, DPO appointment, audit, risk assessment)

Built for DPOs, GRC leads, and compliance teams managing dual-jurisdiction privacy programs, particularly in BFSI, Fintech, SaaS, and IT services.
