PECB Self-Study is a different PECB format that gives access to the official PECB course materials, and PECB makes its video lessons available only in eLearning.

What is ISO/IEC 27701?
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is an international standard that specifies requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It is a management system standard in its own right that works alongside ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002, providing privacy-specific controls and guidance for organisations acting as both data controllers and data processors.
How does ISO 27701 relate to GDPR and the Australian Privacy Act?
ISO/IEC 27701 is designed to be mappable to major privacy regulations including the GDPR, the Australian Privacy Act 1988, and other national privacy frameworks. Implementing ISO 27701 provides documented evidence of privacy controls that can support regulatory compliance: though it does not replace direct legal obligations.
Do I need ISO 27001 before studying ISO 27701?
No. ISO 27001 knowledge is beneficial but not a formal prerequisite for the Foundation course: the two standards share the same management system structure and are often implemented together. The Foundation covers PIMS fundamentals and the structure of ISO 27701 from first principles. For the Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor courses, a foundational understanding of ISO 27001 is helpful.
Is a copy of the ISO 27701 standard included in the course?
No. The ISO/IEC 27701 standard is a licensed document published by the International Organization for Standardization and must be purchased separately from iso.org or an authorised reseller such as Standards Australia. It is not required to complete the course or pass the exam: the exam only covers material delivered in the course. However, having a copy of the standard is recommended as a professional reference.
Can my organisation get certified against ISO 27701, and who certifies it?
Yes. Organisations are certified against ISO/IEC 27701 by accredited certification bodies, often alongside an ISO/IEC 27001 certification audit. Mindset Cyber trains the people, and a certification body audits the organisation. This Foundation course certifies you as an individual (PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27701 Foundation) so you can contribute to a PIMS and support the organisational certification project.
How do I access the course materials?
You will receive myPECB access instructions after purchase. Log in to watch on-demand lessons, download manuals, and schedule your remote-proctored exam.
Are exam attempts included?
Yes. Two remote-proctored exam attempts are included with your enrolment. If you do not pass on the first attempt, you can retake the exam within 12 months at no extra cost.
Is the training self-paced?
Yes. You can learn at your own pace with 24/7 access to video lessons, quizzes, and downloadable materials via myPECB.
Do I receive a certificate?
After passing the exam, PECB issues your professional credential provided you meet the certification requirements.
