Overview

ISO 27701 is a Privacy Information standard which acts as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002. The standard provides guidelines that professionals can use to implement, maintain and continually improve a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). The standard further guides organizations to comply with data privacy regimes such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

With the ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer credential, professionals can prove their knowledge on PIMS and the best practices of privacy information management. Further, the certification testifies to their knowledge and professional capabilities to manage and process data while complying with data privacy regimes.
