The Digital Personal Data Protection Act is India's landmark legislation regulating how personal data is collected, processed, stored and transferred. It changes what an organisation may do with the data it already holds, and it puts named obligations on whoever decides why that data is processed.
This programme equips professionals with practical knowledge of the DPDPA framework, its compliance requirements and the strategies for implementing them. Over two days participants work through the Act's provisions, consent management, data governance, privacy policies, data protection impact assessments and breach response, and learn how to align with global privacy standards while meeting India's own regulatory expectations.
Course Objectives
Course Content
Taught through practice: the course includes practical guidance on privacy implementation, consent management, DPIA activities, breach response planning, data governance frameworks and real-world compliance scenarios.
The Practitioner's Job
Consent that is specific, informed and withdrawable, captured in a way you can evidence.
What the Act requires of the entity that decides the purpose and means of processing.
The rights individuals hold, and the process that lets you answer them on time.
DPIA practice: finding the risk in a processing activity before it goes live.
Incident handling and regulatory reporting, planned rather than improvised.
The privacy policies and governance framework that hold all of the above together.
If you also serve customers abroad: the course covers how to align with global privacy standards such as GDPR while complying with India's regulatory landscape, so one privacy programme can answer both rather than running two in parallel.
