The IAPP and the Exam Development Board compiled the following list of resources for the purpose of
furthering education in information privacy. These selections support the Certified Information Privacy
Professional/Asia (CIPP/A) credentialing program which assesses candidates’ understanding of
information privacy laws and practices that apply to Singapore, Hong Kong and India.
Resource Breakdown:
• The primary resources are publications that encompass the domains on the CIPP/A body of
knowledge.
• The supplemental resources are other notable sources that may focus on specific geographical
areas of the Body of Knowledge
o The IAPP strongly suggests that you incorporate supplemental reading into your
regimen for exam preparation based on your individual needs.
o The IAPP How to Prepare link connects you to our Daily Dashboard, Resource Center,
Podcast, BoKs, and much more. This site is updated daily and offers a wealth of
supplemental information.
While we recommend these as comprehensive, widely recognized privacy resources that cover the topics
outlined in the BoK, candidates for certification must understand that no published text can keep pace
with the rapidly changing privacy landscape.
We continuously adjust our exam content to represent the latest regulatory and technological changes
and we expect candidates for IAPP certification to know about the important developments in their
sector that may modify or supplant information in the authoritative texts.
