Overview

Prepare to establish and improve a privacy information management system (PIMS) using ISO/IEC 27701. Learn how to define privacy responsibilities and processes for protecting personally identifiable information, from initial scope and planning through performance evaluation and improvement.

Study independently with official PECB reading materials and exercises on your schedule. The listed duration describes the curriculum scope. This is a self-study course; video eLearning and instructor-led sessions are separate delivery formats. Complete checkout on AuditHive to confirm your enrollment.

Who Should Attend & Prerequisites

Who should attend

  • Project leads and consultants implementing a PIMS.

A foundation in privacy and ISO/IEC 27701 is expected; familiarity with management system implementation is useful.

Choosing the right course

Choose Lead Implementer if you will build or maintain the management system. Lead Auditor is the related path for evaluating whether the system meets its requirements.

Exam and credential requirements

The credential awarded depends on passing the exam and meeting PECB’s applicable experience, activity, application, and ethics requirements. A course purchase or exam pass alone does not establish eligibility for the selected credential. Review the official credential table before choosing a certification path.

Confirm access dates, exam scheduling, and any retake conditions in your enrollment information. Certification maintenance or renewal requirements depend on the credential; consult PECB’s current rules.
