Alex Koskey has earned a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/E) credential from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
Originally launched in 2004 as the first professional certification ever offered in information privacy, the CIPP has become the preeminent credential in the field. A CIPP credential means the recipient has gained a foundational understanding of privacy and data protection law and practice, and has knowledge of jurisdictional laws, regulations and enforcement models. Mr. Koskey holds the CIPP/E concentration, which focuses on European and national data protection laws, key privacy terminology and practical concepts concerning the protection of personal data and transborder data flows. He also earned his CIPP/US concentration from the IAPP in 2018, which focuses on the U.S. Private Sector.
