ISO/IEC 27701 extends information security management into privacy — a privacy information management system (PIMS) for protecting personally identifiable information (PII). This two-day Foundation course covers the standard's structure: its requirements, guidance, and controls, and how it builds on ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002. It's the entry-level grounding for anyone moving into privacy information management.
