ISO 27701:2019 6.5.2: Information classification

The information classification scheme must explicitly account for personal data, including its type and any special categories, so the organization knows what it processes, where it is stored and which systems it flows through, and the people under its control must be made aware of what personal data is and how to recognise it.

This control maps to 58 controls across 25 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Other controls in PIMS-specific guidance related to ISO/IEC 27002, ISO 27701:2019

You are reading one control. How much of ISO 27701:2019 have you already done?

ISO 27701:2019 6.5.2 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO 27701:2019 your existing evidence covers. Hold SOC 2 and 58 of 108 ISO 27701:2019 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 289 were rejected on the SOC 2 pair alone.
