ISO 27701 extends ISO 27001 into privacy — a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). It is the procurement hurdle for Australian SaaS selling into Europe and the UK under GDPR, for health-tech and financial-services tech aligning to APRA CPS 234, and for government technology suppliers. Annex D maps every GDPR article to an ISO 27701 clause, and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 map cleanly onto its controls.
For the full certification landscape — process, costs, timelines, and how this course fits into a wider readiness program — read the ISO 27701 Certification Australia: A Complete Guide (2026).
Six modules covering the entire PIMS lifecycle as an extension of an ISO 27001 ISMS — from Controller / Processor classification, through lawful basis, consent management, the Statement of Applicability for Annex A and B, data subject rights, breach handling, supplier processing agreements, and the combined stage 1 / stage 2 certification audit. Total effort is 30-40 hours of self-paced study.
Strongly recommended. ISO 27701 is built as an extension to ISO 27001 — it adds privacy controls and management requirements on top of the ISMS. Most successful Lead Implementer alumni have completed ISO 27001 Lead Implementer first or have equivalent ISMS implementation experience. Doing 27701 cold is possible but the learning curve is much steeper.
Three hours, open-book, mixed multiple-choice and scenario-based questions across seven competency domains. Pass mark is 70%. The credential awarded depends on attested professional implementation experience — Provisional Implementer (no experience), Implementer (2 years), Lead Implementer (5 years with 300 hours on PIMS or ISMS projects).
Yes — that is the standard pattern in Australia. Most Australian SaaS companies pursuing ISO 27701 add it to an existing or in-progress ISO 27001 ISMS rather than running them independently. The Lead Implementer course covers the integrated programme explicitly, including how to manage a combined stage-2 audit.
Every authorised PECB Lead Implementer course leads to the same credential — the certificate is identical wherever you buy it. The differences are price, format, and who is teaching. Aegentra delivers Lead Implementer at $849 AUD (self-study) or $928 AUD (eLearning) — both including the exam voucher and one free resit. Aegentra is an active Australian consultancy run by NV1-cleared practitioners who deliver real ISO 27001 + ISO 27701 readiness programmes in Sydney and Melbourne.
No — Lead Implementer credentials the individual. The organisational certificate is awarded after a successful stage 1 + stage 2 audit by an accredited certification body. What Lead Implementer does is qualify you to run that readiness programme from the inside, or as the lead consultant.
The Annex A (Controller) and Annex B (Processor) controls map directly onto APP 1-13. ISO 27701 is the standard documentary answer the OAIC sees in supplier-assurance reviews and APP-compliance enquiries for entities that have invested in a formal programme.
ISO 27701 was written with GDPR in mind. Annex D and Annex E provide explicit cross-walks to GDPR articles. ISO 27701 certification is not formal GDPR compliance, but EU procurement teams and most EU data protection authorities accept it as the most efficient third-party evidence base for privacy-management capability.
Yes. Lead Implementer is the standard credential for independent privacy-management consultants in Australia. To use the Lead Implementer title you need to attest to 5 years of professional experience including at least 300 hours on PIMS or ISMS implementation projects — the credential is awarded at the appropriate level based on attested experience.
Yes. The official PECB Lead Implementer exam voucher plus two exam attempts (initial sit plus one free resit if you do not pass first time) are included. There is no separate exam fee.
Typical effort is 30-40 hours of self-paced study spread over four to six weeks. You have 12 months of myPECB access so the pace is yours. Most working professionals complete it in 6-8 weeks of evenings.
PECB awards 31 CPD credits on completion of the ISO 27701 Lead Implementer course. These count toward CPD requirements at IAPP, ISACA, (ISC)², AISA, and other professional bodies on submission, and toward maintenance of other PECB credentials.
The certification level requires ongoing CPD credits to maintain (typically 20 per year via the PECB CPD scheme). The certificate itself does not expire so long as CPDs are kept current.
