According to PWC’s 2025 AI agent survey, 79% of the senior executives surveyed confirmed that AI agents are already being adopted in their companies. These systems do more than simply support decision-making. Unlike LLMs or chatbots, agents can autonomously retrieve information, interact with systems, and act with limited human input.
This level of autonomy changes the risk profile and raises new governance, data protection, and accountability challenges. The biggest risk for any organisation is not the use of AI agents, but deploying them without the frameworks, skills and oversight needed to manage their impact.

Data protection and AI compliance have become increasingly intertwined this year as organisations scale AI into core products and processes. Although AI systems have always relied on datasets, the deployment of more sophisticated models into business-critical processes has increased the volume, sensitivity, and impact of that data. This shift means issues such as lawful personal data use, transparency, fairness, and explainability have become crucial elements for effective AI governance.

Organisations across all sectors are under increasing pressure to prove how they protect personal data. Customers, partners, and regulators expect verifiable evidence of compliance and accountability, not just policies on paper.
ISO 27701:2025 offers exactly that. As the updated international standard for Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS), it provides a recognised and auditable way to demonstrate privacy maturity, strengthen governance, and build stakeholder trust. For organisations seeking independent assurance, this update presents a timely opportunity to strengthen confidence in how personal data is handled.
