Technologists with privacy skills are in high demand.
Technology, infosecurity and engineering professionals have primarily focused on securing the integrity, confidentiality and availability of corporate data. But today’s digital world requires a new type of technologist – one who can secure highly complex interconnected technologies, while incorporating a robust privacy program to ensure compliance with global data protection regulations. That is why professionals with the Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) designation are becoming even more valuable.
The CIPT program was developed by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), which is the world’s largest comprehensive global information privacy community.
Course Overview
This course is a comprehensive program, led by our expert facilitator. Learn with like-minded peers to expertly prepare for the CIPT exam.
