FIP — Fellow of Information Privacy
IAPP's highest designation — not a standalone exam but an elevated status requiring active CIPP certification plus either CIPM or CIPT, demonstrating comprehensive privacy expertise across law, management, and technology dimensions. The fee for FIP designation is included with IAPP membership. Not DoD 8140 approved. FIP denotes a privacy professional who has validated competency across the full privacy practitioner spectrum. Recognizable as a senior privacy credential — the equivalent of holding multiple complementary privacy certifications and receiving formal recognition for that breadth.
