CIPP worth it?

Echo sentiment already mentioned - great for Privacy professionals. If you are looking at privacy in more of a GRC or auditing type of way - CIPP is great and baseline. Depending on your career goals, you may want to do US or EU.

If you're looking at privacy in a more technical way (e.g. how to build privacy into solutions), CIPT is great.

I'd also mention that IAPP is a great organization to be a part of. I've enjoyed every webinar, conference, or other event that's been hosted by them. They do a great job towing the line between legal and technology, communicating with stakeholders, and ensuring that their members are aware of the greater privacy environment.

I do second round skills interviews at Deloitte for our privacy practice and I look for the CIPP all the time. Not because it’s a particularly difficult cert to get or demonstrates tons of knowledge, but because most people only get it if they’re seriously interested in privacy work.

What is this? Only know CISSP

If you’d like to go pivot to Privacy, then yes. It’s a hot field that has overlap with cyber.

Certified Information Privacy Professional. Credentialism is only good if you can back it up when the rubber meets the road during a discussion.

If you are planning for career or growth in privacy otherwise many technical people don’t care much about it

I would say go for CIPM if you are not on the legal side.

Go for whatever floats your boat

I’ve met many people who have gotten the CIPP with no real privacy experience or background. Ask them basic questions about how to apply a privacy reg or concept to a business use case and all I get are crickets.

I hold very little weight to this and would care more if someone had 1 year experience in privacy and had a more technical cert like a CISSP.
