CIPM: Certified Information Privacy Manager

Administered by the IAPP, the CIPM is the world’s first and only certification specifically dedicated to privacy program management. It teaches how to operationalize privacy regulations (like GDPR and CCPA) into day-to-day business practices, covering governance, risk management, and privacy auditing. The exam tests your ability to structure a privacy team, communicate with stakeholders, and measure the performance of a privacy program. It is essential for Privacy Officers and managers who are responsible for ensuring that an organization not only understands the law but processes data in a compliant way. The credential bridges the gap between legal requirements and IT implementation.
