Still responding to privacy queries instead of shaping them?
The situation this course is for
Privacy isn't just a legal checklist, it's a leadership signal. Yet too many operations leaders remain reactive, waiting for requests instead of setting the tone. When ISO 27701 interpretation falls to others, influence erodes, even when the supply chain implications are clear.
Who this is for
Senior operations or supply chain executive in a regulated EU firm, responsible for compliance-adjacent delivery but not formally in privacy or DPO roles
Who this is not for
Entry-level compliance staff, dedicated DPOs, or consultants selling privacy audits
What you walk away with
- Lead ISO 27701 control mapping with confidence across procurement and vendor management
- Anticipate cross-functional privacy questions before they arise
- Speak from the text of ISO 27701 during real-time discussions, not just in audits
- Turn privacy from a handoff point into a reputation-building function
- Serve as a documented reference on privacy impacts for legal and data protection teams
