Program Overview: What is ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management?
ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management is for privacy officers, DPOs, and security teams extending ISO 27001 into privacy. It covers ISO 27701 and PIMS foundations, plus PIMS requirements and risk planning. Participants work through controller controls in Annex A and processor controls in Annex B, alongside day-to-day PIMS operations.
Sessions run as PIMS implementation labs where participants map Annex A and B controls, run privacy risk assessments, and draft operating procedures with expert coaching. Instructors review control implementation evidence for audit sufficiency, with feedback on every artifact. Controller versus processor scenarios sharpen role-based control decisions. Findings from the drill become the remediation plan for real certification. The program ends with a capstone certification readiness drill that tests the PIMS under simulated auditor questioning.
Privacy programs built on ISO 27001 alone leave controller and processor obligations undocumented, and regulators notice. Thin evidence and confused role assignments fail certification audits. This program teaches teams to operate a PIMS that satisfies ISO 27701: controls implemented, evidence organized, and roles clear.
The readiness drill produces a certification preparation file: control mapping across Annexes A and B, risk assessment outputs, operating procedures, evidence inventory, and a drill findings report with remediation owners. That file is the organization's pre-audit truth. Teams walk into certification knowing exactly where they stand.
The program moves from foundations to practice: your team first learns the standard's structure and privacy principles, then applies Annex A and Annex B controls in guided labs using realistic processing scenarios. Later modules cover the Statement of Applicability, internal audit, and a certification readiness drill, so the program ends with a gap assessment your team can act on.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team leaves with working privacy controls, not just theory: risk assessments, control evidence, and audit-ready documentation.
Interpret ISO 27701 requirements
Read the standard's clauses and privacy extensions, and map them to your ISMS with confidence.
Assess privacy risk
Apply risk criteria to processing activities and prioritize treatment plans that satisfy auditors.
Apply Annex A controller controls
Implement collection, consent, rights handling, and retention controls across business processes.
Apply Annex B processor controls
Manage subprocessing, contractual duties, breach cooperation, and audit support with vendors and clients.
Justify control selection (SoA)
Select applicable controls, record justifications, and assign owners and evidence for every statement.
Run DPIAs and processing records
Document processing activities and run privacy impact assessments that stand up to scrutiny.
Lead audit readiness drills
Run internal audits, grade nonconformities, and close gaps before the certification body arrives.
Teams that Benefit from this ISO 27701 Privacy Information Management Group Training
Privacy, security, legal, and audit teams each own a slice of ISO 27701, from processing records to control evidence. This program brings those groups together on one PIMS playbook, and content adapts to each role and experience level so every cohort practices the workflows it owns.
Run the PIMS with authority and evidence
Privacy teams own the standard's core: processing records, impact assessments, and principal rights. This program gives them the Annex A playbook and the evidence discipline auditors expect.
Workflow friction
- Scattered processing records across business units
- DPIAs done late or not at all
- Rights requests missing legal deadlines
How the program helps
- Document processing activities the audit-ready way
- Run DPIAs that satisfy regulators and clients
- Handle PII principal rights requests on time
Practice use cases
- Records of processing
- DPIA workshops
- DSAR response drills
- Consent management
Extend the ISMS into privacy without rework
Security teams already run ISO 27001; this program layers the 27701 privacy extensions on top. They learn which controls change, what evidence carries over, and which new privacy controls to add.
Workflow friction
- ISMS and privacy work run in silos
- Unclear which controls need privacy extensions
- Breach playbooks missing privacy steps
How the program helps
- Reuse ISMS evidence for the PIMS audit
- Apply privacy controls to security tooling
- Coordinate breach response across teams
Practice use cases
- Control mapping
- Breach response labs
- Evidence reuse
Translate legal duties into working controls
Legal and compliance teams interpret obligations; this program turns them into control language. They practice mapping regulatory duties to Annex A and Annex B controls the business can implement.
Workflow friction
- Legal advice lost in implementation
- Processor contracts missing 27701 clauses
- Regulatory evidence hard to assemble
How the program helps
- Map legal duties to Annex A and B controls
- Review processor contracts with confidence
- Defend control choices to regulators
Practice use cases
- Contract reviews
- Control mapping
- Regulatory evidence packs
Audit the PIMS like a certification body
Internal auditors learn to test privacy controls, grade nonconformities, and write findings that drive fixes. The capstone drill mirrors Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit techniques they will face.
Workflow friction
- Privacy audits rely on generic checklists
- Findings lack clear control references
- Follow-up on fixes is inconsistent
How the program helps
- Test Annex A and B controls effectively
- Grade nonconformities consistently
- Write findings that drive remediation
Practice use cases
- Control testing
- Audit interview practice
- Finding write-ups
- Remediation tracking
Sessions adapt to each function's privacy duties, audit exposure, and current tooling.
Prerequisites: This program suits privacy, security, legal, and audit professionals at any level. Familiarity with ISO 27001 helps but is not required; we recap the essentials.
