ISO/IEC 27701 LI

ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer

Almost every organization processes personal data, which makes a credible privacy information management system (PIMS) essential. This course gives implementers a practical, end-to-end route: using PECB's IMS2 methodology, participants initiate, plan, implement, monitor, and improve a PIMS based on ISO/IEC 27701, and prepare the organization for a certification audit.
