This training course provides detailed information about the updated, added, and removed clauses and Annex A controls, the revised terminology, and the transformation of ISO/IEC 27701:2025 into a stand-alone management system standard.
The course is designed to help privacy and security professionals understand the significant updates in ISO/IEC 27701:2025. Participants will learn how the clauses on understanding, planning, and implementing a privacy information management system (PIMS) are now independent and not tied to ISO/IEC 27001. The course also covers the revised approach to controls: instead of guidance being linked directly to ISO/IEC 27002, controls are now categorized for PII processors, PII controllers, and a shared category for both. Additionally, participants will understand how these categories can still reference ISO/IEC 27002 where applicable.
Upon successful completion of the training, participants will be eligible to sit for the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701:2025 Transition exam. Those who pass will be able to apply for the internationally recognized credential, validating their expertise in realigning and upgrading a PIMS in accordance with the latest ISO/IEC 27701:2025 requirements.
