Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prerequisites?
No formal prerequisite is required. A basic familiarity with ISO 27001 (for example the Foundation level) is recommended, but not mandatory.
In which language is the exam taken?
The official PECB exam for this course is available in French, Spanish and English. Coaching is delivered in English to prepare you as well as possible.
What is the difference between Self-Study and Self-Study + Coaching?
Self-Study gives you the official material, the exam and the certification to progress at your own pace. The coaching option adds one-to-one sessions with me, real-world case studies and guided exam preparation: I support you until you feel ready to get certified.
What if I don't pass the exam?
The PECB exam includes 2 attempts: the first one plus a free retake usable within the following 12 months. A failure therefore doesn't leave you stranded. What's more, with the coaching option we prepare the exam together with mock exams so you arrive with confidence.
What is the link with the GDPR and with ISO 27001?
ISO 27701 extends ISO 27001 with data protection management and maps directly to the GDPR. It's the ideal framework to demonstrate in a certifiable way that your organisation manages personal data properly.
