ABOUT CIPP CERTIFICATION
The CIPP is the global standard in privacy certification. Developed and launched by the IAPP with leading subject matter experts, the CIPP is the world’s first broad-based global privacy and data protection credentialing program. The CIPP/US demonstrates a strong foundation in U.S. private-sector privacy laws and regulations and understanding of the legal requirements for the responsible transfer of sensitive personal data to/from the U.S., the EU and other jurisdictions.
Dean joins the ranks of more than 8,000 professionals worldwide currently holding one or more IAPP certifications. The global field for privacy recently opened over 28,000 privacy positions following EU GDPR mandates in the UK.
“Privacy work is now a field with enormous growth potential for self-governance and privacy innovation in companies with EU stakeholders and CSR human rights postures,” said Dean.
About Sheila Dean

“Sheila is an active voice for more technical privacy provisions to improve the digital user experience. She also hopes to help optimize the new modern social discipline necessary to be more private. What started as a dedicated practice tour of the human rights and digital policy landscape, has landed on the edge of a technical self-leadership approach to reclaiming ownership of personal data.
In order to restore certain imbalances in society, she’s trying a lot of things. Writing, speaking, productions, events and business opportunities are being pursued.”
