Three of the 319 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which institution has the power to adopt findings that confirm the adequacy of the data protection level in a non-EU country?

  1. The European Parliament
  2. The European Commission
  3. The Article 29 Working Party
  4. The European Council
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. The European Commission

Under the GDPR, the European Commission has the exclusive power to adopt decisions on the adequacy of the level of data protection in non-EU countries. This authority is established in Article 45 of the GDPR, which allows the Commission to determine whether a third country provides an adequate level of data protection based on an assessment of the country's legal framework and enforcement mechanisms.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. The European Parliament does not have the power to adopt adequacy decisions; it exercises legislative and oversight functions.
  • C. The Article 29 Working Party (now the European Data Protection Board) provides advice and opinions but does not have the formal power to adopt binding adequacy decisions.
  • D. The European Council is a political body that sets policy directions but does not adopt individual adequacy decisions regarding data protection levels.

Question 2

What is true of both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Council of Europe Convention 108?

  1. Both govern international transfers of personal data
  2. Both govern the manual processing of personal data
  3. Both only apply to European Union countries
  4. Both require notification of processing activities to a supervisory authority
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Both govern international transfers of personal data

Both the GDPR and the Council of Europe Convention 108 govern international transfers of personal data and establish rules and safeguards for transferring data across borders. This is a core shared principle in both instruments, requiring adequate protections when personal data moves to other jurisdictions.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. Convention 108 does govern manual processing of personal data, but the GDPR applies to both automated and manual processing only when data is part of a filing system.
  • C. Convention 108 applies beyond European Union countries to all Council of Europe member states and has been ratified by non-EU countries.
  • D. The GDPR requires notification to supervisory authorities for certain activities, but Convention 108 does not universally require such notification as a general principle.

Question 3

Which aspect of the GDPR will likely have the most impact on the consistent implementation of data protection laws throughout the European Union?

  1. That it essentially functions as a one-stop shop mechanism
  2. That it takes the form of a Regulation as opposed to a Directive
  3. That it makes notification of large-scale data breaches mandatory
  4. That it makes appointment of a data protection officer mandatory
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. That it takes the form of a Regulation as opposed to a Directive

The GDPR is a Regulation rather than a Directive, which means it is directly applicable and binding in all EU member states without requiring transposition into national law. This ensures uniform and consistent implementation of data protection rules throughout the European Union, eliminating the variation that occurred when member states transposed Directives differently.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. While the one-stop-shop mechanism is important, it primarily addresses which supervisory authority has jurisdiction, not the consistency of implementation across the EU.
  • C. Mandatory breach notification is important for transparency but does not directly drive consistent implementation of all data protection laws across member states.
  • D. The data protection officer requirement applies only to specific categories of organizations and does not represent the most broadly impactful aspect for consistent implementation.

What makes the CIPP/E hard

CIPP/E is IAPP's European data protection credential, for anyone working with the GDPR.

The exam covers the GDPR end to end: lawful bases, data subject rights, controller and processor obligations, international data transfers after Schrems II, and the roles of supervisory authorities and the EDPB, plus the wider European framework including the ePrivacy rules and how enforcement and fines actually work. It rewards precise knowledge of the regulation's articles and how they apply to real scenarios, not general privacy intuition.

About the exam

CIPP/E validates knowledge of European data protection law and practice, centred on the GDPR. It is aimed at privacy professionals, DPOs, and legal and compliance staff working with EU personal data.
