What you will learn
The CIPM training path equips you with the knowledge needed to pass the IAPP’s CIPM exam and is designed to meet their Common Body of Knowledge. The CIPM takes the assumption that you are in charge of a new global privacy team for a global multinational. It uses this case study to run through the creation of a Personal Information Management System that creates a continually improving privacy program for the organization, in order to prepare you for the exam and for managing a real global privacy program in your own organization.
