“Future-proof your privacy program with ISO 27701 2025 Foundational Training”

Training Summary:

Privacy is no longer a subset of security; it’s a strategic discipline that drives trust, compliance, and market advantage. ISO/IEC 27701:2025 defines the requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) to manage personally identifiable information (PII) in a risk-based and systematic manner.

ISO/IEC 27701:2025 covers the full life cycle of a PIMS, from context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement. The standard provides control objectives and controls for PII controllers & processors. The 2025 version of the standard is being published as a stand-alone management system standard (MSS) & updated with the ISO/IEC 27001:2022/ISO/IEC 27002:2022 family, making it more accessible for organizations of all sizes, and better suited to handle evolving privacy-risk domains such as cloud services, AI, third-party processing & global regulatory landscape.

Training Objectives:

• Understand the structure and requirements of ISO 27701:2025 (Clauses 4-10)
• Understand the differences/changes from the 2019 version and the implications
• Perform a gap analysis and prepare a transition plan from 2019 → 2025
• Equip the organization’s team to implement the revised standard, such as updating policies, processes, documentation, roles, etc.
• Provide practical exercises, interactive discussions, and templates/checklists

Key Training Takeaways:

• Be fluent with the structure and requirements of ISO 27701:2025 (Clauses 4-10)
• Understand how to map the existing PIMS to the new version, identify gaps, and plan for transition
• Draft the organization-specific transition roadmap and have the tools/templates to carry forward
• Be ready to engage senior management, internal teams, and audit functions to implement the updated standard
