Candidates for certification must understand that no published text can keep pace with the rapidly-changing privacy landscape. We continuously adjust our exam content to represent the latest regulatory and technological changes, and we expect candidates for IAPP certification to know about the important developments in their sector that may modify or supplant information in the authoritative texts.
