The CIPT is the most respected and globally recognised Privacy in technology certification for personal and operational success’, it was launched by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) in 2014, updated in 2021 to meet the changing technological landscape and is accredited to ISO 17024 to meet the growing need that only tech pros can fill - securing data privacy at all stages of IT product and service lifecycles.
