The ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer Training helps professionals build the skills needed to implement and improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).
You will learn how to plan, implement, manage, and improve a PIMS based on ISO/IEC 27701. The course covers privacy risks, PII protection, leadership, awareness, controls, and documented information.

After completing the training and passing the exam, you can apply for the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer credential.

You will also learn how to manage awareness, communication, and documented information. The course covers monitoring, measurement, and continual improvement.
Practical guidance is included for PII controllers and PII processors. This helps you apply privacy controls in real-world situations.
