During this training course, participants will learn to plan and carry out audits in compliance with ISO 19011, ISO/IEC 17021-1, and ISO/IEC 27706. Additionally, participants will acquire knowledge on audit techniques and become competent to manage an audit program.

Most importantly, this training course provides guidance on auditing the clauses of ISO/IEC 27701:2025, as well as the privacy controls for PII controllers and PII processors. It explains how to evaluate their implementation and effectiveness, as well as how to assess the organization’s ability to maintain, monitor, and continually improve its PIMS.

After completing this training course, you can sit for the exam and, if you successfully pass the exam, you can apply for the “PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Auditor” credential.
