Requirements
Are you ready to lead enterprise privacy programs and succeed on the Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) exam? This course offers a structured, academic yet accessible approach to mastering the core domains of CIPM, from program framework to incident response and continuous improvement.
You will begin by defining the scope of a privacy program, mapping data inventories and flows, and aligning your strategy with organizational context and risk appetite. Next, you will establish effective governance by crafting privacy policies, defining team roles, and engaging stakeholders across legal, IT, HR, marketing and executive leadership. With a solid foundation in place, you will explore the operational lifecycle—conducting gap analyses against privacy standards, evaluating third-party vendor risks, and reviewing physical and technical controls.
Our curriculum delves into privacy by design, data classification and access controls, metrics development, program audits, and ongoing compliance monitoring. You will learn to build dashboards, conduct privacy impact assessments, and implement tools to measure and communicate performance to executives. The course also covers critical skills for responding to data subject access requests (DSARs), managing consent, and handling breach incidents—complete with documentation templates and post-incident review practices.
Throughout the lessons, you will encounter 20 realistic sample exam questions. Each question appears after relevant topics and includes four answer options with the correct choice clearly marked. These questions reinforce your understanding and help you gauge readiness as you progress through each domain.
By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive theoretical foundation aligned with the official CIPM Body of Knowledge. You will be able to design, implement, sustain and improve an enterprise privacy program with confidence. With concise lessons, practical exercises, and targeted quizzes, you will be fully prepared to approach the CIPM exam with clarity and competence.
