Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM)

Achieving the Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) credential demonstrates your understanding and ability to apply privacy and data protection practices in the development, measurement and improvement of a privacy program, using a privacy program operational lifecycle. The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) developed the CIPM program in response to overwhelming demand to collect and collate common practices for managing privacy operations.
