The exam assesses PIMS principles and requirements together with audit preparation, execution, closure and audit-program management.

Passing the exam permits application for an eligible ISO/IEC 27701 Auditor credential. The credential tier depends on professional experience and verified PIMS audit activity; the Lead Auditor title is not automatic.

Course completion, examination success, certification application and credential issuance are separate stages; the credential is not issued automatically.
