ISO 27701:2019 8.2.2: Organization’s purposes

The organization must ensure that personal data it handles for a customer is processed only for the purposes expressed in that customer's documented instructions, with the contract stating the objective and time frame of the service, recognising that technical reasons may make it reasonable for the organization to decide how processing is carried out consistent with general instructions without express direction, and allowing the customer to verify compliance with purpose specification and limitation, which also ensures no data is processed by the organization or its subcontractors for other purposes.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 19 controls across 11 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • NIST-CSF-GV.OC-04 Critical objectives, capabilities, and services that external stakeholders depend on or expect from the organization are understood and communicated
  • NIST-CSF-GV.PO-01 Policy for managing cybersecurity risks is established based on organizational context, cybersecurity strategy, and priorities and is communicated and enforced
  • NIST-CSF-GV.RM-01 Risk management objectives are established and agreed to by organizational stakeholders

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

ISO 27701:2019 8.2.2 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.
