Greetings and salutations. I'm not sure if you folks had seen, but there is another designation on the IAPP site - Fellow of Information Privacy
https://iapp.org/certify/fip/
The requirements are that you need a CIPP, either a CIPT or CIPM, and three years of privacy experience, though a ISACA or ISC2 cert would count for a year.
The cost is FREE! As in beer. You just have to fill out the application. You'll need three referrals and a personal statement.
Applications are reviewed by the Certification Department for satisfaction of the program requirements and applicants will be notified of the results within four weeks.
In addition to receiving a digital FIP designation badge that can be highlighted and shared on LinkedIn and other social media sites, successful candidates will also be profiled in our IAPP FIP online directory.
Each new class of fellows will be announced biannually in conjunction with an IAPP conference.
Plus there are no CPEs! Just have to maintain your other IAPP designations.
I do like the experience part of this compared to the CIPP/CIPT/CIPM, but overall it's not bad. More of a recognition thing than anything. I'll let you know how long it takes.
