Answers to the most common questions about our PECB eLearning courses.
Is this course PECB eLearning or PECB Self-Study?
It is PECB eLearning, which PECB delivers through PECB Certified Trainers in pre-recorded video format, with quizzes and the official course materials on myPECB. 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. The price of this eLearning course, A$699 + GST (A$768.90 inc. GST), includes the PECB exam voucher, two exam attempts, the certification fee, the first year of PECB certification maintenance and 12 months of access.
What does an ISO 27701 Lead Implementer do?
An ISO 27701 Lead Implementer designs, deploys, and manages a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) within an organisation. This includes conducting privacy impact assessments, defining the PIMS scope, selecting applicable controls from ISO 27701 Annex A and B, writing privacy policies, and preparing the organisation for a PIMS certification audit.
Do I need ISO 27001 certification before taking this course?
No. ISO 27001 knowledge helps because the two standards share the same management system structure and are often implemented together. If your organisation already has an ISMS, this course shows you how to integrate a PIMS with it. A fundamental understanding of ISO 27001 clauses and Annex A controls will significantly accelerate your progress through the course.
What is the difference between ISO 27701 Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor?
The Lead Implementer course focuses on designing and building a PIMS from planning through certification. The Lead Auditor course focuses on planning, conducting, and reporting PIMS audits. Many privacy professionals pursue both: the Lead Implementer to build, the Lead Auditor to assess and verify.
What is the difference between ISO 27701 and ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 establishes an Information Security Management System (ISMS) focused on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. ISO 27701 establishes a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), with its own requirements and privacy-specific controls for managing personally identifiable information (PII). Since the 2025 edition it is a management system standard in its own right: you can implement it without ISO 27001, and the two are often implemented together because they share the same management system structure.
Does ISO 27701 certification prove GDPR compliance?
ISO 27701 certification demonstrates that your organisation has implemented a systematic Privacy Information Management System, but it does not constitute legal proof of GDPR compliance. However, the standard includes Annex D mapping tables that show how ISO 27701 controls align with specific GDPR articles, making it a strong supporting tool for demonstrating accountability under GDPR Articles 5(2) and 24.
Can I study ISO 27701 online from any country?
Yes. The PECB ISO 27701 Lead Implementer course is delivered as self-paced eLearning through the myPECB platform, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. The exam is also remote-proctored, so you can complete the entire certification process without travelling. Mindset Cyber students study from across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
Do I need ISO 27001 before ISO 27701?
No. ISO 27001 knowledge helps because the two standards share the same management system structure and are often implemented together. You do not need to hold an ISO 27001 certification to enrol, but a solid understanding of ISMS concepts, clauses 4 to 10, and Annex A controls will significantly accelerate your learning. If you are new to ISO 27001, the ISO 27001 Foundation or Lead Implementer course is a useful companion, but it is not required.
How long is ISO 27701 certification valid?
PECB ISO 27701 Lead Implementer certification is valid for three years. To maintain your credential, you must earn continuing professional development (CPD) credits and pay the annual PECB maintenance fee. After three years, you can renew by demonstrating ongoing professional development and relevant work experience.
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.
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.
