Executive Summary

As biometrics become essential for secure and seamless physical access, the importance of explicit, auditable, and portable consent has never been greater. The new ISO/IEC TS 27560:2023 standard provides a global, machine-readable structure for recording and managing consent. This blog explores the standard and illustrates its use in a real-world example: fans signing up for biometric access at Moga Football Stadium, powered by Demystify Biometrics.

What is ISO/IEC TS 27560?

ISO/IEC TS 27560:2023, titled Privacy Technologies – Consent Record Information Structure, is an internationally agreed framework to:


  • Structure consent data across systems

  • Capture who gave consent, for what, and when

  • Support the full consent lifecycle (give, modify, withdraw)

  • Align with global privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, China PIPL)


The standard promotes interoperability, auditable logs, and trust in high-risk use cases such as biometric access and authentication.


Anatomy of a Consent Record


The consent structure consists of four sections:

  1. Header – Metadata, schema version, pseudonymous subject ID

  2. PII Processing – What data is collected and why

  3. Parties – Controllers and processors involved

  4. Events – Lifecycle tracking of consent actions


⚽ Use Case: Biometric Stadium Entry


Imagine a football fan, Raj Singh, signing up for seamless entry to Moga Football Stadium. Demystify Biometrics provides the access control solution using face and palm biometrics.

  "record_id": "d9a102b0-4a7e-4f65-a7c4-7844f8c1a256",
  "pii_principal_id": "raj-singh-uuid-321",

  "language": "en",
  "purposes": ["stadium access", "crowd flow optimization", "VIP lounge authentication"],
  "lawful_basis": "consent",
  "pii_information": ["facial image", "palm scan", "event ticket ID"],
  "pii_controllers": ["Moga Football Club"],
  "processors": [
    {
      "name": "Demystify Biometrics",
      "role": "data_processor",
      "purpose": "biometric matching",
      "location": "India"
    }
  ],
  "events": [
    {
      "event_type": "consent_given",
      "timestamp": "2025-06-08T17:03:00Z",

      "method": "mobile app opt-in with selfie and signature",
      "location": "Moga, Punjab"
    }
  ]
}

✅ Why This Matters

  • Regulatory Alignment: Ensures compliance with India’s DPDP Act and international frameworks.

  • Transparency: Fans know exactly what data is collected, for what use, and how to revoke it.

  • Interoperability: Enables use across partners (e.g., merchandise booths, lounges).

  • Auditability: Each consent action is time-stamped, actor-specified, and method-tagged.


📣 Final Thoughts


The adoption of ISO 27560 signals a new chapter in privacy-centric biometrics. Whether in banks, airports, or stadiums like Moga, this standard gives organizations the tools to manage consent responsibly, securely, and scalably.


Demystify Biometrics is proud to pioneer this standard in real-world access control.
