The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) is India’s data protection framework governing the processing of digital personal data. It establishes requirements around consent, purpose limitation, data security, accountability, and other aspects of personal data protection.
The DPDPA applies to organizations that process digital personal data in India and certain organizations outside India when processing is connected to offering goods or services to individuals in India. The specific obligations depend on the organization’s role and data processing activities.
The DPDPA establishes requirements around obtaining valid consent, providing notice, limiting data processing to specified purposes, maintaining data accuracy, protecting personal data, and fulfilling obligations related to data retention and accountability.
Organizations can assess readiness by reviewing their data handling practices, security safeguards, access controls, data retention practices, and accountability measures against DPDPA requirements. A structured readiness checklist can help identify areas that require attention.
Endpoint security can help organizations strengthen the technical safeguards used to protect personal data. Managing devices, enforcing security policies, restricting unauthorized access, and maintaining visibility across endpoints can support broader data protection efforts.
