The International Association of Privacy Professionals
The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) is the largest and most
comprehensive global information privacy community and resource, helping practitioners develop
and advance their careers and organizations manage and protect their data.
The IAPP is a not-for-profit association founded in 2000 with a mission to define, support and
improve the privacy profession globally.
The IAPP is responsible for developing and launching the gold standard in privacy and data
protection certifications. The CIPP, CIPM and CIPT are the leading privacy certifications for tens of thousands of professionals around the world who serve the privacy, data protection, information auditing, information security, data ethics, legal compliance and risk management needs of their
organizations.
The Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E), the Certified Information Privacy Professional/ United States Private Sector (CIPP/US), the Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) and the Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) credentials are accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 17024:2012.
The Certified Information Privacy Professional/ Canada (CIPP/C) and the Certified Information Privacy Professional/ Asia (CIPP/A) are the IAPP’s smallest designations and, at this time, do not have the test data to pursue accreditation. However, all IAPP credentials are rigorous professional certifications and the exams are stand-alone assessments designed to assess professional competence and experience.
