Presentation
In the era of the GDPR and increased data scrutiny, organisations can no longer rely on superficial measures: they must place privacy protection at the heart of their strategy. This intensive 4.5-day course develops the expertise to implement a robust PIMS (Privacy Information Management System), extending existing information security controls to address personally identifiable information (PII).
The programme follows a proven methodology from initial context analysis through to the declaration of conformity, including risk management and documentation. You will learn to interpret ISO/IEC 27701:2025 requirements, advise leadership on good practice and coordinate appropriate controls whether your organisation acts as a PII controller or processor.
At the end, you can take the official PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer exam included in our offer (see the Certification tab for details). This prestigious credential demonstrates your ability to lead a complex compliance project and ensure continual improvement of privacy protection in any organisation.
