Empowering businesses with data privacy compliance: Key takeaways from PCQuest's DPDPA workshop

On November 20, 2024, PCQuest, along with SM Consulting, and Fortinet, hosted a workshop on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023. It wasn’t just another seminar with jargon-heavy talks—it was a no-nonsense, hands-on event designed to help professionals get a grip on data privacy compliance. With laws tightening and penalties looming, businesses can’t afford to be in the dark.

▾ Why This Workshop Matters

Data privacy laws are no longer something you can leave for “later.” India’s DPDPA 2023 is here, and it’s serious business. Think of it as the GDPR’s cousin—focused on transparency, accountability, and protecting personal data. For companies, it’s not just about avoiding fines; it’s about staying in the game.

This was the “aha moment” for many participants: realizing how DPDPA is India stepping onto the global stage of data protection.

▾ Breaking Down DPDPA Without the Gobbledygook

Experts like Ms. Vasanthika Srinath, Legal Consultant, SM Consulting, SP Arya, Senior Partner, SM Consulting and Sameer Mathur, Managing Partner, SM Consulting, didn’t just lecture—they demystified the act. Here’s what stood out:

- Who’s on the hook? Data fiduciaries (companies handling your data) need to tighten their belts.

- Phased rollout: It’s not all dropping at once, so businesses have some breathing room.
