CIPP/E 2026 Study Guide: Complete Exam Prep for the IAPP Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe Certification
The 2026 edition built natively to BoK v1.3.3The IAPP refreshed the CIPP/E exam in September 2025. Three domains became five. The Body of Knowledge moved to v1.3.3. The EU AI Act, the EU Data Act, the withdrawn ePrivacy Regulation, the UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the Latombe ruling on the Data Privacy Framework all reshaped the test that's in front of you. Most CIPP/E books on Amazon predate every one of those changes.
This guide is current. Every Article reference, every EDPB output, every named case verified against 2026 sources.
What's insideThe full 5-domain map. Weighted to BoK v1.3.3 (7 / 37 / 27 / 16 / 14). The chapter map follows the weighting, not the table of contents of an EU privacy treatise.22 chapters.

Why choose this guideIt's the companion to Ustaran, not a replacement. If you already own European Data Law and Practice 3rd ed., keep it on your shelf. Ustaran is the reference you reach for when a client asks what Recital 47 actually says about legitimate interests. This book is the spine you read when the IAPP asks you to pick the right answer between four nearly-identical options in 90 seconds.
