The PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Lead Auditor credential shows you can plan, lead and report an audit of a privacy information management system (PIMS) against ISO/IEC 27701:2025, using ISO 19011 audit principles. It is the qualification for auditing how an organization actually handles personal data, not just what its policy says.
Internal auditors, certification body auditors, privacy and information security professionals moving into audit, and consultants who assess privacy programs for clients.
PECB asks for a fundamental understanding of information security and privacy and a working knowledge of audit principles. ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor is common among attendees but not required.
Day 1 introduces ISO/IEC 27701:2025 and the PIMS. Day 2 covers ISO 19011 audit principles and preparing and initiating an audit. Day 3 is on-site audit activities, including auditing PII controller and PII processor controls. Day 4 closes the audit: reporting, corrective action follow-up and managing an audit program. The four days follow PECB’s official course structure, with the exam at the end.
The exam covers 7 competency domains: fundamental principles of a PIMS; PIMS requirements; fundamental audit concepts and principles; preparing an ISO/IEC 27701 audit; conducting an ISO/IEC 27701 audit; closing an ISO/IEC 27701 audit; managing an ISO/IEC 27701 audit program. Questions are weighted across the domains, and the course is organized so every domain is taught before you sit the exam.
The exam has 80 multiple-choice questions, a mix of standalone and scenario-based, and lasts 3 hours. It is open-book, and the passing score is 70%. Online exams are graded instantly.

Yes. We include one free exam retake within 12 months of your first attempt, and it is covered by your course fee.
The 2025 edition is a standalone standard rather than an extension of ISO/IEC 27001, so a PIMS can now be certified on its own and audited without a 27001 certificate behind it. The controls are also regrouped for PII controllers, PII processors, and a shared set, which changes how you scope and sample an audit.
Lead Auditor teaches you to plan, conduct and close an audit of a privacy information management system. Lead Implementer teaches you to build and run one. Auditors assess; implementers operate. Compare all of our PECB courses side by side on the PECB training courses page.
As of 2026 the current edition is ISO/IEC 27701:2025, published in October 2025 to replace the 2019 edition. Audits are conducted against the 2025 requirements, and that is what this course teaches.
