SCHAUMBURG, Ill-Tuesday 5 May 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Headline-grabbing events and regulations have made it clear to organizations just how essential it is to prioritize data privacy. However, new research from ISACA indicates that many organizations are struggling in this space. More than one-quarter of organizations say it is difficult to understand all their privacy requirements, and 40 percent say they lack competent resources to implement a successful privacy program, which requires expertise in technical implementation that goes beyond awareness of regulatory requirements.
Given the high stakes for organizations and the great need for qualified professionals to create privacy solutions that are aligned with organizational goals and risk appetite, ISACA is launching its new Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) certification. The first experience-based, technical certification of its kind, CDPSE assesses a technology professional’s ability to implement privacy by design to enable organizations to enhance privacy technology platforms and products that provide benefits to consumers, build trust and advance data privacy.
Professionals can begin to apply for the CDPSE certification starting today as part of a limited early-adoption opportunity in which those who have the five years of necessary experience can become certified.
“Up until now, certifications have primarily focused on the legal aspect of privacy,” says Nader Qaimari, ISACA Chief Learning Officer. “ISACA’s CDPSE certification fills a gap and allows privacy technologists to demonstrate they understand the technical aspects of creating and managing privacy programs and solutions to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.”
As privacy requires complex collaboration across multiple functions in an organization, CDPSE is also designed to validate privacy technologists’ ability to work cross-functionally with the legal team, policy department, engineers, software developers, database administrators, and back-end and front-end experts, while playing a key role throughout the planning, development and delivery of IT privacy solutions.
“The privacy technologists who have the experience and credentials to validate this knowledge will not only be able to play an integral part in driving these privacy solutions, but also play a major role in earning and retaining customer trust and providing organizations with a competitive advantage,” says David Bowden, CISM, CIPT, CIPM, PMP, CSM; Vice President, Information Security, Data Privacy, Compliance & Information Technology, Zwift, Inc., and member of ISACA’s privacy advisory group.
More information on the early-adoption phase of the CDPSE certification, as well as additional privacy resources and guidance, can be found at www.isaca.org/cdpse.
