The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA) represents a pivotal moment in India’s legislative landscape, establishing a robust framework aimed at safeguarding citizens' personal data. This landmark legislation is poised to fundamentally transform how organizations handle, process, and protect personal information, underscoring the critical importance of data privacy in an increasingly digital world.

New Challenges and Responsibilities

The Importance of Data Protection Governance

Our holistic approach empowers businesses to foster a culture of privacy and accountability.

Comprehensive Compliance Journey

Riskpro offers thorough guidance throughout the DPDPA compliance journey, ensuring adherence to the requirements of the Act. Our expertise encompasses every stage of the compliance process, beginning with the meticulous execution of a Data Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA). During this critical phase, we assess the privacy risks associated with data processing activities, laying the groundwork for robust protective measures.

Following the DPIA, our data protection professionals collaborate closely with your organization to design and implement effective safeguards. This includes establishing privacy governance frameworks, data security protocols, and continuous monitoring systems to ensure ongoing compliance with the DPDPA.

Understanding Individual Rights

Our esteemed Advisory team is dedicated to ensuring that your organization fully comprehends and upholds the rights of individuals as articulated in the DPDPA. We guide you through the intricacies of the legislation, focusing on the rights vested in data principals (individuals). These rights include, but are not limited to, the right to access, rectify, and erase personal data. We assist in developing processes that enable your organization to respond promptly and effectively to individuals exercising these rights, thereby demonstrating a commitment to safeguarding consumer privacy and fostering greater trust with customers and stakeholders.

Data Breach Response Services

In line with the DPDPA, Riskpro provides prompt and comprehensive Data Breach Response services aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of data breaches on both individuals and organizations.

With Riskpro’s support, organizations can swiftly restore trust, comply with regulatory requirements, and uphold the highest standards of data protection throughout the recovery process.

Understanding Penalties and Compliance

The DPDPA imposes severe penalties for noncompliance, with fines reaching up to ₹250 crore (approximately 30 million USD) or more, and a minimum fine of ₹50 crore (about 6 million USD). The forthcoming establishment of the Data Protection Board of India will further empower authorities to adjudicate noncompliance issues and levy fines. Our Riskpro team is committed to ensuring that your organization achieves full compliance with the DPDPA, thereby safeguarding against future penalties while enhancing trust, preserving reputation, and ensuring long-term regulatory alignment.
