About this exam
The Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) Examination is an ISACA certification exam for professionals who design, implement, and govern privacy solutions. It is relevant to privacy engineers, security and IT professionals, architects, and others responsible for protecting personal information across systems and processes. The exam assesses practical judgment as well as knowledge of privacy principles, including governance and accountability, program strategy, risk assessment, and the design of policies, standards, and controls.
CDPSE exam content covers privacy governance, privacy architecture, and the data lifecycle, including how organizations manage privacy risks and support data protection throughout collection, use, storage, sharing, and disposal. The published exam format is multiple choice, but candidates should check ISACA’s current candidate guide for details that may change. Passing the exam is only one part of earning the certification: applicants must also meet ISACA’s professional experience requirements. Preparation is strongest when it connects frameworks to realistic technology and organizational decisions.
