Requirements
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
This basic course is dedicated to ISO/IEC 27701 – an international standard that defines requirements for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). The standard outlines an approach for extending the existing ISO 27001 framework to ensure the protection and confidentiality of personal data.
Throughout the course, you will gain a clear and structured understanding of what it means to implement and maintain a PIMS in accordance with ISO 27701, how this standard aligns with GDPR requirements, and the specific roles of data controllers and data processors it defines. The course explains key elements of ISO 27701, including the creation of a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), the implementation of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) as an operational process, the management of third-party processors through Data Processing Agreements (DPA), as well as preparation for certification and integration with an Information Security Management System (ISO 27001).
The material is presented in an accessible way without excessive technical complexity, making it understandable even for learners without deep experience in data protection. You will learn how the logic of the standard is structured, why privacy is becoming a competitive necessity for organizations handling personal data, and how to ensure compliance with international requirements.
The course is useful for board members, DPOs (Data Protection Officers), CISOs, lawyers, compliance managers, IT and cybersecurity professionals, consultants and auditors, as well as anyone responsible for data processing and privacy compliance within an organization.
The program is practice-oriented and focused on real-world management decisions. After completing the course, you will better understand the strategic logic of ISO 27701, be able to conduct a gap analysis, build a foundation for data protection through a properly structured RoPA, implement DPIA checklists, and prepare for combined audits. The knowledge gained will help reduce legal and operational risks, increase client trust, and enhance the commercial value of your management system.
