CISSP or CIPP/E & CIPM First?

Hi guys,

trying to figure out which certifications would work best in what order. I want to take all three of the items in the title, but I'm wondering if CISSP is worth doing before or after the CIPP/E & CIPM combo.

Thoughts?

Completely different - the IAPP are obviously privacy focused so depends on your role. CIPM is straightforward if you work with a privacy remit, CISSP is a large enough effort as documented by everyone doing it. CIPP\E is tricky and I know three or four guys who passed it - two of them took two go's.
So for me - CISSP - CIPM - CIPP\E

Thank you for the clarification.

Much appreciated.

CIPT seems more in line with CISSP, instead of CIPM. Wondering on the goal here. Guessing GDPR. CIPT also dives head long into as well. Really depends on if you are going as someone working it... or managing the team.

If I may add, CISSP only touches the surface of privacy.
