Privacy isn’t just legal’s problem anymore, misconfigured CPQ systems are triggering compliance escalations.
The situation this course is for
Sales configurations that inadvertently process PII without documented controls are now red flags in enterprise audits. As CPQ systems grow more integrated, gaps in privacy logic delay deal closures and increase review cycles.
Who this is for
Mid-level CPQ specialists in B2B tech environments who interface with compliance-sensitive pricing logic and cross-functional stakeholders.
Who this is not for
Entry-level pricing analysts without decision influence, or executives seeking board-level narratives.
What you walk away with
- Identify privacy-sensitive data flows within CPQ workflows using ISO 27701 control mapping
- Configure audit-ready documentation that aligns CPQ logic with GDPR and CCPA downstream implications
- Shape internal standards for privacy-aware pricing rules without escalating to legal
- Anticipate compliance requirements in RFP responses before they’re requested
- Claim ownership over privacy-integrated CPQ design, expanding your portfolio without changing titles
