ISO 27701 Training helps professionals understand how to plan, conduct, and lead audits of a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). CBQA Global’s Lead Auditor Course (LAC) for ISO/IEC 27701:2025 aims to develop auditing competencies for privacy information management systems based on the latest standard requirements.
According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO/IEC 27701:2025 establishes requirements and guidance for building, implementing, maintaining, and improving a PIMS. The standard can be used independently and is intended for organizations responsible for processing personally identifiable information.
What Does ISO 27701 Training Cover?
The Lead Auditor Course (LAC) for ISO/IEC 27701:2025 at CBQA Global runs for five days. The learning methods include presentations, workshops, and audit simulations. Participants learn about PIMS requirements, audit principles, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of privacy controls.
The training materials follow a structured sequence to help participants understand both the standard and its practical application in auditing.
| Day | Main Topics |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Introduction to PIMS, the structure of ISO/IEC 27701:2025, clause requirements, and the fundamental principles of information security and privacy. |
| Day 2 | Audit planning and preparation, process-based auditing, objective evidence collection, and evaluation of top management commitment. |
| Day 3 | Audit execution, data analysis, sampling, site inspections, audit trails, interviews, and on-site observations. |

What Competencies Does ISO 27701 Training Develop?
ISO 27701 Training focuses on developing professionals’ ability to manage PIMS audits in a structured manner. Participants learn how to identify and assess risks related to personally identifiable information (PII), as well as evaluate the effectiveness of privacy controls.
In addition, participants learn how to plan, conduct, report, and follow up on audits based on ISO 19011 principles. The course also covers audit team management, classification of findings, communication of results to management, and mapping PIMS controls to privacy regulations and related standards, such as GDPR, PDPA, ISO/IEC 29100, ISO/IEC 27018, and ISO/IEC 29151.
These competencies help participants understand the entire audit process, from preparation to reporting the results.

Who Should Attend ISO 27701 Training?
This program is relevant to Lead Auditors and Internal Auditors working with ISO 27001 or PIMS, Data Protection Officers (DPOs), Privacy Compliance Managers, Information Security Managers, and professionals in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC).
Risk specialists, compliance professionals, IT governance practitioners, and professionals seeking to develop their privacy management system auditing competencies may also benefit from this program.
The training is particularly relevant to participants responsible for auditing, risk management, information security, or personal data protection.
How Does ISO 27701 Relate to Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law?
Indonesia’s Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (UU PDP) governs data subjects’ rights and the obligations of personal data controllers and processors. Therefore, organizations need to understand how personal data is processed and protected throughout their business activities.
Knowledge of ISO 27701 can help professionals develop a systematic approach to privacy risk management and evaluate relevant controls. These competencies can also support organizations in assessing how they implement their obligations under the Personal Data Protection Law.
However, ISO 27701 training does not automatically guarantee compliance with every provision of the Personal Data Protection Law. Organizations must still evaluate their legal obligations based on their specific data processing activities.
