ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer

The ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer training course equips professionals with the expertise to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) based on ISO/IEC 27701 — the international standard that extends ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 with privacy-specific requirements for PII controllers and PII processors.

Why Should You Attend?

Since most organizations process personally identifiable information (PII), a robust PIMS is critical to effective privacy protection. This training course covers privacy governance, privacy risk assessment and treatment, implementation of privacy controls, and certification readiness — preparing participants to sit for the internationally recognized PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer exam.

Educational Approach

● Based on both theory and best practices used in the implementation of a PIMS.
● Practical exercises, group discussions, and active exchange of ideas among participants.
● Quiz structure closely mirrors the certification exam, ensuring exam readiness.

Prerequisites

A fundamental understanding of information privacy is required to attend this training course.
