ISO/IEC 27701 extends ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 to help organisations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). This Specialist course provides the practical knowledge needed to apply privacy controls within real-world organisational contexts.
You’ll explore how ISO/IEC 27701 supports privacy governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance, including alignment with global privacy laws such as GDPR.

By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to support or lead ISO/IEC 27701 implementation activities, integrate privacy controls into existing management systems, and demonstrate compliance to stakeholders.
