ISO/IEC 27701: LEAD IMPLEMENTER

The ISO/IEC 27701: Lead Implementer course is an advanced, implementation-focused program designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to plan, implement, operate, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) in accordance with ISO/IEC 27701.

ISO/IEC 27701 is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It extends ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 by introducing privacy-specific requirements and controls for organizations acting as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Controllers and/or PII Processors.

This course focuses on practical implementation rather than theory, enabling participants to translate ISO/IEC 27701 requirements into governance structures, policies, procedures, privacy controls, and operational practices. It prepares professionals to lead PIMS implementation projects, coordinate stakeholders, integrate privacy into an existing ISMS, and support certification and ongoing compliance.
