IAPP Launches New CIPP/CN Certification

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — 3 Oct. 2024 — The IAPP, the professional home for privacy, AI governance and digital responsibility globally, announced the launch of the official exam for the Certified Information Privacy Professional China certification.

The CIPP/CN certification exam follows the launch of the CIPP/CN training program in July 2024. In-person and online CIPP/CN training is currently available for purchase and scheduling. Achieving CIPP/CN certification demonstrates a professional's experience and ability to mitigate risk and comply with Chinese privacy laws, particularly the sweeping Personal Information Protection Law. Built by experts in Chinese privacy and data protection, CIPP/CN certification signifies in-depth knowledge of statutory and regulatory frameworks, key terms and definitions, and supervisory and sectoral regulatory authorities and judicial bodies.

“Organizations operating within and outside of China require qualified professionals that are able to navigate the regulatory complexities of one of the world's strictest privacy regimes,” IAPP President and CEO J. Trevor Hughes, CIPP, said. “Beyond the PIPL, a practical understanding of the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law is necessary for a workforce that has been tasked with the management of a continuously expanding digital landscape. The launch of the CIPP/CN certification is an important step to support global professionals working at the intersections of data, technology and humanity.”

The pricing for the exam is USD550.
