The CIPM is a certification in privacy program management, which is currently the only one of its kind worldwide. By obtaining a IIAP CIPM, you demonstrate your ability to effectively implement a privacy program in your organization. Essentially, you become the primary point of contact for all matters related to data protection on a daily basis. The IAPP, the largest global community, and resource for information privacy developed the CIPM certification, which has received accreditation under ISO 17024:2012.
