Every organisation that processes personal data/personally identifiable information (PII) is subject to regulations that broadly aim to protect and control the way data is used. Key privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Data Protection Act (2018) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), have been in place for some time; however, international laws such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act in India are more recent.
Implementing an ISO 27701-compliant privacy information management system (PIMS) can help manage these complexities, demonstrate your commitment to data privacy and provide proof of the security measures you have implemented, should you suffer a data breach.
This fully accredited, practitioner-led course equips you to lead an ISO/IEC 27701 PIMS implementation project. It is delivered by an experienced data privacy trainer and consultant, who will use a combination of formal training, practical exercises and relevant case studies.
It will teach you:
Achieve a globally recognised ISO 27701 qualification certificated in just two days.
Real-world practitioners show you how to tackle a PIMS project from start to finish.
Participate in group discussions, practical exercises and case studies throughout the course.
Choose whether you attend Live Online or in person at one of our training venues throughout the UK.
