The ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer training course equips professionals with the expertise to assist organizations in establishing, implementing, and continually improving a privacy information management system (PIMS) based on ISO/IEC 27701.
Why Should You Attend?
Having a PIMS ensures the protection of privacy for individuals whose personally identifiable information (PII) is processed. Given that most organizations process PII, implementing a robust PIMS is critical to ensuring effective privacy protection. This training course is designed to prepare participants to establish and maintain a PIMS in alignment with the requirements and guidance of ISO/IEC 27701. It covers key topics such as understanding the organizational context, ensuring leadership and commitment, conducting privacy risk assessment and treatment, managing communication and awareness, and maintaining documented information. The course also explains how to monitor, measure, and continually improve the PIMS. Most importantly, it provides practical guidance on implementing privacy objectives and controls specific to PII processors and PII controllers. After mastering the implementation and management of a PIMS, individuals can sit for the exam and apply for the “PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer” credential. The internationally recognized PECB Lead Implementer certificate demonstrates the practical knowledge and professional capabilities required to implement the ISO/IEC 27701 requirements in an organization.Who Should Attend?
