CIPP/E Update: What you need to know

Published at 19:55 on 30 Jun 2021

From July 1, 2021 the CIPP/E body of knowledge and exam will be updated.

The changes are not huge. They are supposed to represent about 10% of the content (which equates to around 9 of the 90 questions) but given the information that’s been provided about the changes, it’s likely to be less than that.

According to the iapp, the following new topics will be added to the CIPP/E body of knowledge and exam from July 1, 2021:

CIPP/E Update: Standard Contractual Clauses

Examinees must understand the post-Schrems II position in regard to Standard Contractual Clauses.  In particular, that in addition to the use of SCCs, organisations transferring data out of the EEA who are relying on SCCS must also conduct what are now commonly being referred to as  ‘transfer impact assessments’ or TIAs.  These TIAs will involve a consideration of the laws in each recipient country to ensure essential equivalence to EU law for personal data being transferred under SCCs or BCRs. If the laws are not essentially equivalent, companies must provide additional safeguards or suspend transfers.

To facilitate this assessment, many organizations are relying on questionnaires sent to organisations in the non-EEA or adequate jurisdictions.  The are also adopting a combination of technical, organizational and contractual safeguards, using the advice provided to date by the EDPB on what might be appropriate supplementary measures..

Note: If additional guidance is provided by the EDPB on this topic, you should be aware of the same.

CIPP/E Update: Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and ethical issues

The content has expanded its coverage of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.  In particular it refers to ethical considerations around the use of AI/ML.  Examinees will need to have some appreciation of the issues around the use of AI/ML and in particular some of the ethical concerns.  This is consistent with recent releases from the European Commission on the topics of AI.

For more information, examinees are directed to:

Ethical guidelines for Trustworthy AI:  https://iapp.org/media/pdf/resource_center/AIEthicsGuidelinespdf.pdf
