    PP-244: CIPM + CIPP/E 4 Day GDPR Ready

     

    Course Overview:

    A combined course of CIPM + CIPP/E. Achieving a CIPM credential shows that you have a comprehensive knowledge of how data protection programs should work across an organization. Combine with a CIPP/E credential and prove that you not only can manage a data protection program, but you understand the regulations that govern them.

    With a CIPM and CIPP/E combined you’ll be uniquely equipped to fulfill the DPO requirements of the GDPR. The CIPP/E relates to the knowledge a DPO must have concerning the European legal framework of the legislation, and the CIPM provides theoretical aspects necessary to lead an organization’s data protection policy.

    The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect in 2018. Among its mandates is the requirement to appoint a knowledgeable Data Protection Officer (DPO) tasked with monitoring compliance, managing internal data protection activities, training data processing staff, conducting internal audits and more. There’s a lot to know, there’s a lot at stake and there’s a lot of opportunity for data protection professionals with the right training and education. 

    What’s Included:

    • Authorized courseware
    • 2 Exam vouchers
    • IAPP membership

    **GDPR Regulation Mandated May 25, 2018**

    Course Objectives:

    See individual courses for details: PP-212: CIPP/E Certified Information Privacy Professional Europe and GDPR Compliance

    See individual courses for details: PP-222 CIPM Certified Information Privacy Manager and GDPR Compliance

    Attendees to PP-244: CIPM + CIPP/E 4 Day GDPR Ready will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction, and certification test vouchers and certificate of course completion.

    TechNow is a International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) Partner, and utilizes official curriculum from International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
