Define security perimeters, implement physical entry controls, and protect equipment and supporting utilities to secure information and personal data against environmental threats.

Implement operation security under ISO/IEC 27001/27701 by documenting procedures, controlling changes, separating development and operations, and backing up personal data.

Explore how logging and monitoring under operations security detect unusual activity, track who did what and when, and support automated review, protection, and retention of logs including PII access.

The lecture introduces communication security in ISO/IEC 27001, detailing general network controls, service provider agreements, and network segmentation using firewalls and routers to protect information flow.

Learn to design and enforce information transfer policies for internal and external exchanges, including encryption, retention, and disposal; manage external partner agreements, messaging security, and non-disclosure obligations for PII.

Integrate security and privacy requirements in the acquisition, development, and maintenance of information systems, encrypt data over untrusted networks, and implement privacy by design and by default.

Learn how supplier relationships affect security and privacy through policies, contracts, processing of personally identifiable information, minimum technical and organisational measures, audits, supply chain management, and termination if risks rise.

Differentiate events from incidents and implement incident management across preparation, detection, response, and learning from breaches under ISO/IEC 27035 and GDPR guidance.

Integrate information security and privacy into existing business continuity arrangements, conducting impact analysis, assigning roles, developing and testing plans, and ensuring redundancy and failover to protect data.

Identify applicable legislation and contractual requirements for information security and privacy, including GDPR fines and intellectual property rights. Establish independent reviews and audits for records protection and cryptography controls.

Identify and document the purposes for processing personal data, communicate to PII principals, and determine the lawful basis (such as consent, contract, or legal obligation), updating as needed.

Understand consent as a legal basis for processing data under ISO/IEC 27701:2019, including when and how to obtain, record, withdraw it, and ensure it is freely given, specific, and unambiguous.

Decide when a privacy impact assessment is required and learn to identify PII processing risks, assess impact and likelihood, and develop a privacy risk treatment plan and report.

Define contracts with PII processors enforcing ISO/IEC 27701 controls, outline joint PII controller agreements, and establish records of processing activities with ownership and retention details.

The course explains ISO/IEC 27701 obligations to identify and meet PII principles, documentation, and a contact point. It covers information, consent management, withdrawal, and objection processes aligned with GDPR.

The lecture outlines how PII controllers must enable principals to access, correct, and erase personal data, including processing purposes, transfers to third parties, and portable data formats under GDPR.

Learn how privacy by design and privacy by default guide organizations to identify purposes and limit data collection and processing to what is necessary, ensure accuracy, and apply de-identification techniques.

Explore privacy by design and default with five PII controls: de-identification and deletion at end of processing, temporary files, retention schedules, disposal, and secure transmission with encryption.

Identify and document the basis for PII transfers between jurisdictions, apply adequate safeguards or consent under GDPR, and maintain records of transfers and disclosures to third parties.

Explore the conditions for collection and processing under ISO/IEC 27701:2019, detailing controller-processor roles, contracts, purpose limitation, consent for marketing, and breach handling.

Understand how PII controllers and processors fulfill obligations to PII principles by providing copies of processed PII for complaints, information about processing, and support for corrections or deletions under contract.

Apply privacy by design and privacy by default to PII processors. Implement controls for temporary files, disposal, retention periods, and secure PII transmission, including encryption and contract-based handling.

Learn how a PII processor shares, transfers, and discloses personal data, documents transfers to other jurisdictions with basis for transfer, and records disclosures including subcontractor management and customer notification.

Obtain ISO/IEC 27701 certification by aligning the privacy information management system with security controls from section three and privacy controls from sections four and five.
