Description
Information Technology Practitioner (ITP): Specialisation in Compliance
Bridging the Gap Between Compliance and Technology
The Information Technology Practitioner: Specialisation in Compliance (ITP: Compliance) designation was created to close a growing skills gap at the intersection of compliance, IT governance, and emerging technologies.
Traditional compliance qualifications focus mainly on laws, regulations, and risk management. In contrast, IT certifications emphasise technical systems but often overlook governance, ethics, and regulatory accountability. As a result, many organisations struggle to find professionals who can connect compliance obligations with digital systems, data governance, and automation.
This programme develops that exact capability — preparing practitioners to embed compliance within digital transformation initiatives.
