Overview
Overview
Overview
The ISO/IEC 27701 Auditor Track is designed for professionals who audit Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS) of organisations acting as controllers and/or processors. Rather than treating privacy audits as a review of policies or legal documentation, the programme focuses on evaluating how privacy requirements are governed, implemented and monitored in practice.
The track covers the full audit life cycle and enables effective PIMS audits in internal auditing, supplier auditing as well as third-party auditing contexts.
