PRIVACY TRAINING FAQS
Find the right path for privacy management or data protection responsibilities.
What is the difference between ISO/IEC 27701 and GDPR?
ISO/IEC 27701 is a privacy information management standard. GDPR is a regulation governing personal data processing within its scope. They address related subjects, but they are not interchangeable.
Which course is best if I am new to privacy management?
ISO/IEC 27701 Foundation introduces privacy management system concepts. The GDPR Data Protection Officer programme is designed for people preparing for or supporting DPO responsibilities and assumes prior data protection knowledge.
Should I choose Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor?
Choose Lead Implementer if you will establish or manage a PIMS. Choose Lead Auditor if you will plan and conduct audits of a PIMS.
Does ISO/IEC 27701 training establish GDPR compliance?
No. ISO/IEC 27701 can support structured privacy management, but an organisation must assess and meet the GDPR requirements applicable to its own activities.
Does completing DPO training automatically grant a professional credential?
No. A professional credential is subject to the applicable examination, experience and certification requirements.
Does completing training certify my organisation?
No. Training develops individual knowledge and skills. Certification of an organisation's management system requires a separate assessment.
Can our organisation request team training?
