The Certified DPO (CDPO) programme is designed for Data Protection Officers, by Data Protection Officers, and is led by some of India's top DPOs and industry practitioners. Delivered by QACA in partnership with DPO Club, the course gives you a step-by-step, practical breakdown of the DPO's role under India's DPDPA 2023, built around real-world frameworks, interactive sessions and hands-on case studies rather than theory alone.
Across two days you will work through the DPDPA 2023 and its 2025 Rules, the lawful basis for processing personal data, RoPA and DPIA practice, DSAR and vendor management, and breach response, so you leave ready to perform the DPO role with confidence, not just aware of it.
