CIPP/E case studies
CIPP/E · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The CIPP/E (Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe) is an ANAB-accredited designation that, in the IAPP's own words, proves you have an understanding of pan-European and national data protection laws, key privacy terminology and practical concepts concerning the protection of personal data and trans-border data flows. It is built for practitioners whose work touches European privacy - in-house and outside counsel, compliance and information-security staff, consultants, and privacy programme owners - who need a principles-based framework for European data protection rather than a single country's statute. The CIPP/E case studies are 5 cases and about 3,584 words.
