The PACC Professional Certification program sets the standard of excellence for the access and privacy profession
The changing nature of legislation, regulations, technology and expectations means that ongoing professional development is vital for anyone involved in the privacy and access field — and for the organizations that rely upon them to be efficient and effective.
Attaining PACC certification indicates you have met a rigorous and unbiased qualification process founded upon three pillars of demonstrable skill + experience + education relevant to the interrelated aspects of data protection: information privacy and access to information.
