I could be not up to date - didn't teach Data+ for last few months, but Data+ has zero cover of the privacy. Maybe it is something in DataSys+ or DataAI+
I rather have in ming the main concepts of Data Privacy and maybe deeper analysis of some of this:
Top 20 Privacy & Data‑Protection Laws Worldwide
1. EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
2. UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)
3. UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018)
4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
5. California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
6. Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD)
7. Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
8. Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 (amended)
9. China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)
10. Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)

Additional Major Global Privacy Laws (11–20)
11. Japan – Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)
12. South Korea – Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)
13. South Africa – Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)
14. Mexico – Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties
15. India – Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA)
16. Turkey – Law on Protection of Personal Data (KVKK)
17. Thailand – Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA)
18. Indonesia – Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law)
19. Russia – Federal Law on Personal Data
20. United States – State‑Level Privacy Laws (20+ states)
The U.S. lacks a single federal privacy law, but more than 20 states now have comprehensive privacy statutes, including Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, and others.

Of course I do not have even slight willing to cover all af them. But some compare & contrast... would be great.

This looks great.

Is it possible to extend the validity of my exam voucher?

Hi, I’ve not seen any information confirming that expired exam vouchers have been extended. However, I have seen a similar situation with a colleague. He contacted customer service and explained his genuine circumstances, providing medical evidence. As a result, they issued him a new voucher that allowed him to take the exam.


Because the original voucher had a specific expiry date, they said it could not be overridden.


I hope that helps.

Any updates on the SecAI+ Vouchers. For some reason, my instructor status is somehow not linked to the GTCC account. Patiently awaiting my voucher

Thank you again

Today I passed the DA0-002: CompTIA Data+ Certification Exam. I had already passed the previous version DA0-001, and I thought this one was much easier.

One PBQ, 79 M/C questions. A few AI questions scattered throughout, but otherwise not much new.

Overall, it's a good introductory data certification for people getting started on their career path in data analytics.

I'll be taking the new DataSys+ soon. I'm interested to see how much it has changed since the previous version.

Hello Everyone! We have been in the process of building out a webinar schedule for the rest of the 2026. Below is the outcome of the planning we have so far. We would like feedback from CIN as to what you think is missing? What topics would you like to see offered? Are there any proposed launches from the CompTIA Product Roadmap that you think should be covered? We will add to our webinar list based on feedback and interests.

Hi @Stephen Schneiter the roadmap looks great.

I think all the trainers really appreciate TTT sessions, as well as ToolBoxes. I welcomed shift/push into the security part, we need it heavilng, but I think one series (not sure if exam is planned) should be about PQC (Post Quantum Computing) and PGE (Post Quantum Encryption) as we know it is very, very near future. The other topic which. I think. is little abandoned is Data Protection / Data Privacy. I know it is partially covered in several exams, but the separate webinar could be useful. Maybe CompTIA Privacy+ Expansion Exam in the future?

THNX!

Congratulations Gregory!

Thank you all for the assistance! Studying for this exam has been an eye opening experience, despite my experience and other certs/trainings.

Thank you @Stephen

Thank you @Stephen Schneiter for the update!

Congratulations on your big win.

Congratulations Gregory!

Honestly, I'm mostly interested in the TTT items.

this is great news! thanks @Stephen Schneiter !

Like others have pointed out. In all my years of taking certification exams, I am yet to see a case where the expiration date of an exam voucher has been successfully extended. Best bet is to write the exam by the expiration date at the very latest.

this is great! registered already

A voucher is typically valid for one year. I've never heard of a voucher extension.

It is possible but it depends on your reasoning. If you have any supporting documentation, you will need to provide that. A letter of motivation could also help.

Same here, I don’t think it’s possible @Bofy O.S Idiodi

This is going to be interesting can’t wait to see how @James Stanger creates the AI agent, Q-branch. Great one there @Stephen Schneiter
