Who should attend ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer training?
ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer training is for professionals responsible for implementing or governing privacy management systems.
ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer training is intended for professionals who play a direct role in designing, implementing, or overseeing privacy governance within an organization.
This includes privacy managers and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) who must move beyond policy compliance and establish structured, auditable privacy management practices. It is also highly relevant for ISMS managers and GRC professionals extending ISO 27001 frameworks to include privacy requirements.
Consultants and expert advisors benefit from the training by gaining a repeatable implementation methodology they can apply across client environments, particularly where certification or regulator-facing accountability is required.
Finally, members of PIMS project teams—such as risk managers, compliance leads, and security architects—gain a shared understanding of how privacy requirements translate into operational controls and governance processes.
The training assumes professional exposure to privacy or information security challenges and is best suited for individuals expected to take ownership of PIMS implementation or ongoing management.
