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 You Should 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?

This training course is intended for managers and consultants involved in privacy and data management; expert advisors seeking to master the implementation of a PIMS within organizations; individuals responsible for maintaining conformance with data privacy requirements; and PIMS project implementation team members.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to explain the fundamental concepts and principles of a privacy information management system (PIMS) based on ISO/IEC 27701; interpret the ISO/IEC 27701 requirements for a PIMS from the perspective of an implementer; initiate and plan the implementation of a PIMS based on ISO/IEC 27701 by utilizing PECB’s IMS2 Methodology and other best practices; apply best practices to support the ongoing effectiveness and improvement of the PIMS based on ISO/IEC 27701; and interpret the requirements for an ISO/IEC 27701 certification audit.

Educational Approach

This training course is based on both theory and best practices used in the implementation of PIMS. Participants are strongly encouraged to interact with one another, exchange ideas, and actively participate in discussions.
