When is it worth getting CIPP/US? I’m a product counsel in pharma and at my new role am acting as local privacy officer. I’m a healthcare regulatory and transactional attorney by trade - not a privacy attorney. But alas privacy related requests from global have started. Is it worth specializing more or just farming out to outside counsel?

I may be biased but I think outsourcing to a firm could be helpful because privacy law is constantly changing. Connecticut alone has amended its state comprehensive consumer privacy law at least 3 times in the past couple years. Also with the rise of regulatory inquiries, I think outsourcing to a firm can help insofar as making sure your company doesn’t stick out.
