Introduction
Building an Operational DPDP Data Protection Program
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) establishes a new compliance landscape for organisations that collect and process personal data of Indian individuals.
The DPDP Act applies broadly across industries, placing obligations on Data Fiduciaries, who determine the purpose and means of processing, and Data Processors, who process data on a fiduciary’s behalf.
PRSECURITY CONSULTANCY & SERVICES helps organisations translate DPDP obligations into practical operational steps.
