Protecting data privacy is not just an IT issue. It is a critical business imperative. According to IBM's recent reports, the average cost of a data breach has surpassed $4.4 million, and global legal obligations are becoming increasingly stringent.
As the digital landscape evolves, governments worldwide are enforcing strict privacy regulations, such as the European Union’s GDPR, California's CCPA, and others.
ISO/IEC 27701:2025 is the globally recognized standard that helps businesses meet these complex requirements, regardless of their jurisdiction.
About This Course
This course details the requirements and guidelines of ISO/IEC 27701:2025.

Whether your company acts as PII controller, PII processor or both this standard applies to you—regardless of your company's size, sector or location.
