Familiarize your organization with the key provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, including principles like consent-based data processing, data minimization, and purpose limitation. Identify how the Act applies to your business operations and data handling practices.
Conduct a comprehensive data inventory to identify and classify personal data within your systems. Map data flows to understand where data is collected, processed, stored, and shared, ensuring you have visibility into sensitive information.
Ensure data collection is limited to what is necessary for specific purposes and is based on explicit consent from data principals (individuals). Update consent forms to make them clear, concise, and compliant with DPDP requirements.
Establish systems to handle requests from individuals to access, correct, or delete their personal data. Automate these processes to efficiently manage requests within the timeframes specified under the DPDP Act.
Create or update your privacy policy to include information on data collection, usage, sharing, storage, and the rights of individuals under the DPDP Act. Ensure the policy is easily accessible and written in a simple, understandable language.
Implement technical and organizational measures to secure personal data against unauthorized access, breaches, or misuse. Use encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems, and conduct regular vulnerability assessments to identify risks.
Prepare a data breach response plan to quickly detect, contain, and report breaches to the Data Protection Board of India (DPBI) and affected individuals as required by the DPDP Act.
Review and update contracts with third-party vendors to ensure they comply with DPDP requirements. Include clauses that mandate secure handling of personal data and adherence to applicable laws.
Deploy tools to manage, track, and update individual consents effectively. Ensure that individuals can easily withdraw consent if they choose to do so.
Schedule periodic internal and external audits to evaluate compliance efforts. Identify gaps or areas for improvement and implement corrective measures to strengthen your compliance framework.
Continuously monitor updates to the DPDP Act and guidelines from the Data Protection Board of India. Adapt your policies, procedures, and controls to align with any changes in the regulatory landscape.
