ISO/IEC 27701 is designed to specify requirements and provide guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a PIMS in the form of an extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 for privacy management within the context of your organization. A PIMS framework will help you to operate and maintain processes for your organization whilst providing assurance to your stakeholders.

This one-day course will help you understand the principles of ISO/IEC 27701 and the changes required to extend your ISMS. It will help you understand how the requirements of ISO/IEC 27701 will provide the basis of an effective PIMS and provides guidance for PII controllers and/or PII processors.

With the full support of a world-class BSI tutor, you’ll learn about ISO/IEC 27701 common terms and definitions, as well as the key concepts and requirements.
