For the listed ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 courses, the separately quoted consultancy option is explained above. PECB manages examination and certification decisions. Knowledge you can apply ## What you will work through. - Plan and lead an ISO/IEC 27701 audit programme — internal, supplier, or third-party. - Audit privacy-specific controls in both controller and processor contexts. - Run combined ISMS / PIMS audits efficiently. - Classify privacy nonconformities and write defensible findings. - Handle audit disputes around lawful basis, consent, and cross-border transfers. Inside the course ## The curriculum. Modules describe the learning sequence. Day labels in the official curriculum do not mean scheduled live classes. **Module 1 — Foundations of privacy auditing** ISO 19011 principles applied to PIMS Auditor competence for privacy Auditing a standalone PIMS or a combined ISMS / PIMS Ethics and impartiality **Module 2 — Planning the PIMS audit** PII inventory verification Controller vs. processor scope Stage 1 documentation review Risk-based audit planning for privacy **Module 3 — Conducting the audit** Auditing lawful basis and consent Auditing data subject rights handling Auditing cross-border transfers Evidence sampling for personal data **Module 4 — Closing and reporting** Classifying privacy nonconformities Writing the audit report Closing meeting and presentation Corrective action verification **Module 5 — Special audit situations** Auditing third-party processors Combined ISMS / PIMS audits Remote audits and sampling Dispute resolution on consent and lawful basis **Module 6 — Certification body practice and exam prep** Working under a certification body Surveillance and recertification audits Ethics and impartiality Exam strategy and case studies The exam and credential ## Know what you are preparing for. Credential eligibility and the certification decision are assessed by PECB. Training does not certify your organisation. - **Format:** Open-book, multiple-choice — stand-alone and scenario-based questions - **Duration:** 3 hours - **Questions:** 80 multiple-choice questions across 7 competency domains — fundamental principles and concepts of a PIMS, PIMS requirements, fundamental audit concepts and principles, preparing an ISO/IEC 27701 audit, conducting the audit, closing the audit, and managing an audit programme - **Pass mark:** 70% PECB credential ladder: Provisional Auditor (no experience) → Auditor (2 years, 1 in privacy management, 200 audit hours) → Lead Auditor (5 years, 2 in privacy management, 300 audit hours) → Senior Lead Auditor (10 years, 7 in privacy management, 1,000 audit hours). Above these sits PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Master, which requires 20 years of professional experience with 10 in a leadership role, 5,000 hours of combined audit and project activity, and passing both the ISO/IEC 27701 and Lead Auditor exams. All tiers require signing the PECB Code of Ethics. Provisional credentials are exempt from maintenance; other tiers follow the applicable CPD and fee requirements. **Before you enrol: prerequisites** PECB requires foundational knowledge of information security and privacy, together with a thorough understanding of audit principles. From knowledge to a working decision ## A support supplier handles personal data Draw the processing flow, identify organisational roles and record unanswered questions about access, retention and supplier responsibilities. For an audit-focused route, write a criterion, evidence request, possible finding and limitation; do not reach a conclusion without the necessary evidence. Original optional study prompt, not an official PECB exam question, an additional included lab or evidence of professional experience. Use fictional information.

Similar titles from different training providers can lead to different qualifications. [PECB exam listing](https://help.pecb.com/list-of-pecb-exams/) **Prepare your exam environment** Before booking, check the latest online-exam manual for identification, equipment, connectivity and room requirements. Ask PECB about reasonable accommodations early if you need them. [PECB online-exam manual](https://pecb.com/en/online-exam-manual) **Plan the credential application** Passing the exam and being awarded a particular credential are separate steps. Check the applicable experience, references and application requirements; do not assume a Lead title is awarded automatically. [PECB certification requirements](https://pecb.com/en/certification-rules-and-policies) For permitted materials, exam conduct and accommodation requests, read [PECB’s exam rules](https://pecb.com/en/exam-rules-and-policies). Requirements can change; check the current rules for your exact exam. Your questions ## Before you choose. **Is the official PECB exam included?** Yes. Each listed bundle includes the official examination voucher: an initial attempt and one free retake if needed. Complete the exam, included retake and application within 12 months of purchase. The first retake requires at least 15 days after an unsuccessful attempt. PECB reviews eligibility before awarding a credential; buying a bundle does not guarantee certification. **What is the difference between Self-Study and eLearning?** Self-Study provides official slides for independent study. eLearning adds recorded PECB video lectures. Only the formats shown above are offered for this course. **Does this include a certification fee?** The bundle includes the application fee and first-year maintenance where applicable. Foundation certificates have no annual maintenance fee. Credential eligibility and ongoing requirements vary; PECB makes the award decision. **Can I purchase online?** Choose your course and learning format, review the total in your selected currency and pay securely through Stripe. PECB access is arranged within 24 hours after payment confirmation. Optional Labs access is activated for the matching course after confirmation. **How does this PECB bundle compare with other UK training offers?** Compare the exact awarding body and credential, curriculum, delivery format, exam inclusion, retake conditions, access period and eligibility. Similar course titles do not establish equivalence to another provider or scheme. These are PECB bundles; no CQI and IRCA, IAPP, EC-Council or Linux Foundation credential is implied. **Does 12-month access mean 12 months of teaching?** No. It is the material-access period, not a scheduled course duration or a promise of unlimited instructor support. The listed bundles are self-paced. Curriculum day labels describe a learning sequence; they are not booked live classroom dates. **Which standard edition or syllabus should I check?** Confirm the exact course edition and current PECB syllabus before enrolment, especially where a standard is being revised. Publication of a newer standard does not automatically update a training bundle or include a transition course. Confirm the course edition with the Academy before payment.
