What is a CIPP?

CIPP stands for Certified Information Privacy Professional. This is a certification offered by the International Association of Privacy Professionals. With this distinction, you can provide consulting services about privacy laws and data protection policies that may impact a business. Meeting the qualifications for becoming a CIPP usually involves passing an exam and memorizing the responsibilities and duties of this position, as well as staying current with your skills to protect privacy in a changing technological environment. CIPP should not be confused with cured-in-place pipe jobs, which have the same acronym and refer to a technique used for repairing existing pipelines without digging trenches.
