ISO/IEC 27701 has several advantages, SMEs in particular may find the implementation process difficult. Typical difficulties include the following:
Resource Limitations –
It takes a substantial time, financial, and professional commitment to implement ISO/IEC 27701 . It might be difficult for SMEs to set aside the funds required for continuous maintenance, system updates, training, and documentation. This can be especially difficult for smaller companies that have tighter resources and fewer employees.
Knowledge Deficits
SMEs might not have the internal knowledge necessary to handle the complexities of ISO/IEC 27701 as privacy management is a complicated topic. This may make it more difficult to comply with regulations and properly manage privacy issues. It can be necessary for SMEs to look for outside consultants or training to fill up these knowledge gaps.
Resistance Inside the Organization
Successful implementation may encounter obstacles related to change management. New privacy policies may be opposed by staff members and management, particularly if they seem burdensome or superfluous to them. Getting support from all organizational levels is essential to getting over opposition and guaranteeing a seamless implementation process.
Continued Maintenance
ISO/IEC 27701 is a continuous endeavor rather than a one-time undertaking. SMEs must keep an eye on, evaluate, and update their Privacy Information Management System on a regular basis. To guarantee sustained compliance and efficacy, this continual maintenance can be resource-intensive and needs constant attention.
