The IPMP certification demonstrates that you can apply the principles and practices of an effective data privacy capability. The exam covers awareness and application of concepts found in the Integrated Policy Management Capability Model.
The IPMP topics and questions were determined by the authors, and a global expert review panel was assembled for the development of the Policy Management Capability Model. The members of the review committee include former regulators and governmental advisors from several countries with advanced data privacy regulations, academics, and practitioners. Their input and other research yielded a blueprint that serves as a competency model for the IPMP.
We update the Integrated Policy Management Capability model and IPM Professional Exam to reflect important and relevant changes in the global regulation and industry practices for policy management.

Yes! The exam is open-book, meaning you may use Google and other resources while taking the exam.
We believe that the exam process should reflect modern reality and user experiences. In your job, you use Google and online resources daily. You should be able to use these resources when you learn and when you take the exam.
