Learn how ISO 27701 builds a privacy information management system (PIMS) that layers privacy into an existing ISMS, bridging data security and personal data rights.
Break down the ISO/IEC 27701 structure as a blueprint for a certifiable privacy information management system, outlining the mandatory clauses 4–8 and annexes A or B for controllers or processors.
Unpack clause three, ISO 27701's dictionary, and see why precise terminology matters. Identify PII, controller, and processor roles, and how a shared language makes audits defensible.
Define the scope of your privacy information management system with precision. Align it with the ISMS and anchor it in documented evidence across data flows and processing activities.
Learn a structured privacy incident and breach management playbook, including the five steps: detect, triage, assess, contain, and document, plus controller‑processor roles, notification, and post‑incident improvement for data protection.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
