Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US)
CIPP/US Certification
JOIN THOUSANDS OF PRIVACY PROFESSIONALS WORLDWIDE WHO HOLD THE FIRST CERTIFICATION EVER DEVELOPED BY THE IAPP – THE CERTIFIED INFORMATION PRIVACY PROFESSIONAL/U.S. CREDENTIAL.
Developed in collaboration with the law firms, Bird and Bird, Field Fisher, Wilson/Sonsini and Covington and Burling, the CIPP/E encompasses pan-European and national data protection laws, key privacy terminology and practical concepts concerning the protection of personal data and trans-border data flows.
With the power of ANSI/ISO accreditation behind it, a CIPP/E credential elevates your professional profile by deepening your knowledge and improving your job effectiveness. The certification exams, textbooks and training are constantly updated to reflect the latest advances in privacy. The CIPP/E includes critical topics like Schrems II and the GDPR.
The GDPR includes among its mandates the requirement to appoint knowledgeable data protection officers (DPOs) tasked with monitoring compliance, managing internal data protection activities, training data processing staff, conducting internal audits and more. There’s a lot to know, there’s a lot at stake and there’s a lot of opportunity for privacy professionals with the right training and education.
Achieving a CIPP/E credential shows you have the comprehensive GDPR knowledge, perspective and understanding to ensure compliance and data protection success in Europe—and to take advantage of the career opportunity this sweeping legislation represents.
Add a CIPM credential to the CIPP/E and you’ll be uniquely equipped to fulfill the DPO requirements of the GDPR. The CIPP/E relates to the knowledge a DPO must have concerning the European legal framework of the legislation, and the CIPM the theoretical aspects necessary to lead an organization’s data protection efforts.
