Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Auditor is a comprehensive auditing course designed for professionals who want to plan, perform, manage, and report audits of a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) based on the ISO/IEC 27701 standard.

The programme follows internationally recognized auditing principles and methodologies, enabling participants to evaluate privacy controls, assess the effectiveness of privacy management processes, and perform independent audits of organizations that process Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
