About this event

The Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) is an operational level qualification for IT professionals who require comprehensive knowledge about how to incorporate appropriate privacy controls into information and communications technology. Developed by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) in 2014 and refreshed in 2020, the CIPT is the leading privacy-focused IT certification. In obtaining the CIPT, award holders demonstrate a greater understanding of the techniques necessary to ensure privacy measures in technology systems are aligned with compliance regulations such as the GDPR. By enhancing the privacy skills of your IT professionals, your organisation will be equipped with competent privacy technologists who are able to build and implement solutions that mitigate risk and enhance productivity.

The CIPT examines critical privacy concepts and practices in detail and includes a certification that grants technologists access to IAPP's vast global network, including hundreds of tools and resources to maintain and enhance their skill set.

IAPP Certified Information Privacy Technologists will learn:

  • Privacy concepts, strategies and techniques relating to IT
  • About consumer privacy expectations
  • How to build privacy-by-design into every stage of the IT products and services lifecycle
  • How to setup privacy-preserving data collection and transfer processes
  • How to establish privacy-related IT security practices, such as data minimisation, access controls and encryption
  • How to evaluate emerging technologies and how to use them while maintaining data privacy
  • How to audit IT infrastructure
  • How to communicate technical privacy issues to colleagues, partners, and customers outside of IT and collaborate with them to produce solutions

If you're an IT systems or software engineer or you work in IT Security, the CIPT is an invaluable qualification as the demand for privacy-trained IT professionals is at an all-time high.
