ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Implementer Training

It covers key topics such as understanding the organizational context, ensuring leadership and commitment, conducting privacy risk assessment and treatment, managing communication and awareness, and maintaining documented information. The course also explains how to monitor, measure, and continually improve the PIMS and provides practical guidance on implementing privacy objectives and controls specific to PII processors and PII controllers.
