(DPDP) Act, 2025
Data Protection Management Program (DPMP)
To meet the requirements of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2025, companies must invest in security solutions that address key obligations such as data protection, breach notification, consent management, and accountability.
AiCyberwatch has launched Data Protection Management Program (DPMP), by integrating various solutions into a comprehensive Program – DPMP.
(DPDP) Act 2025, Roadmap
1.) Data Protection and Access Control
- Access Management: Use solutions like Identity and Access Management (IAM)or Privileged Access Management (PAM) to enforce role-based access controls and monitor privileged accounts.
- Data Encryption: Encrypt data both at rest and in transit to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access.
- Data Masking and Tokenization: Mask sensitive data in non-production environments and tokenize identifiers to minimize risks. Also look at PQC (Post Quantum Cryptography)
2.) Consent and Privacy Management
- Consent Management Platforms (CMPs): Deploy tools to manage and store consent records in compliance with the Act. These platforms should allow for easy consent withdrawal.
- Data Mapping Tools: Implement solutions to track where personal data resides and how it is processed, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
3.) Data Security Monitoring and Incident Response
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM): Centralize log management to monitor security events and detect anomalies in real time. (AICW SOC)
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevent sensitive information from being transmitted or accessed outside the organization without authorization.
- Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Monitor endpoints for malicious activities and respond to threats proactively.
4.) Breach Notification and Incident Reporting
- Incident Response Platforms: Automate the breach reporting process to ensure compliance with the DPDP Act’s notification timelines.
- Threat Intelligence Solutions: Gather insights on emerging threats to bolster breach prevention strategies.
5.) Secure Cross-Border Data Transfers
- Data Localization Solutions: Manage data residency by ensuring data remains within approved jurisdictions or is handled in compliance with transfer requirements. This does not only this but multiple other use cases like data access control, discovery and classification, etc)
- Secure Gateway and Cloud Encryption: Protect data when transferring it to approved countries or third-party cloud services.
6.) Employee Training and Security Awareness
- Security Awareness Training Platforms: Train employees to recognize phishing attacks, manage data securely, and comply with the DPDP Act.
- Regular Security Audits and Drills: Simulate data breach scenarios to ensure readiness and identify vulnerabilities.
7.) Data Governance and Audit Tools
- Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Tools: Automate the assessment of high-risk data processing activities and ensure compliance.
- Audit Management Platforms: Track and document compliance measures, policies, and audits for regulatory scrutiny.
8.) Multilingual and Inclusive Accessibility
- Localization Tools: Ensure all privacy notices, consent forms, and interfaces are accessible in multiple regional languages.
- Accessibility Solutions: Cater to non-digital users and individuals with disabilities through alternative communication methods.
9.) Advanced Cybersecurity Measures
- Zero Trust Architecture: Implement “never trust, always verify” principles for enhanced security across all digital assets.
- Behavioral Analytics: Use AI-powered solutions to detect unusual user or system behaviours that could indicate potential breaches.
10.) Compliance Reporting and Documentation
- Compliance Management Platforms: Automate policy updates, track adherence to regulations, and simplify reporting to the Data Protection Board.
- Secure Record-Keeping: Retain consent records, breach reports, and audit logs as per retention requirements.
