Why this program

The DPDPA duty most teams can’t yet evidence

Every organisation handling personal data in India must apply reasonable security safeguards — and be able to prove it. Most training stops at the law. This program is built around that one obligation: understand it, implement the controls, and audit the evidence. Security safeguards done right also carry across ISO 27001, SOC 2 and the rest of your compliance.

Understand the law

The DPDPA and the draft DPDP Rules — what the safeguards duty actually requires.

Implement the safeguards

Access, encryption, logging, change, backup and vendor controls — built, not just named.

Audit the evidence

Map data, run a DPIA, test the controls, and pass a readiness assessment.

The 15-day journey

From the law to an audited programme

Part 1 · The DPDPA (Days 1–5)

Day 1	Why DPDPA — and why safeguards are a legal duty	The Act in plain language, and why 'reasonable security safeguards' sit at the heart of it.
Day 2	Roles, lawful grounds & principles	Data Fiduciary, Data Principal, Processor; consent and the certain legitimate uses.
Day 3	Notice, consent & the Consent Manager	What a valid notice and consent must do, withdrawal, and the Consent Manager model.
Day 4	Rights, grievance & duties	Data Principal rights, grievance redressal, and the duties that bind everyone.
Day 5	SDF, DPO, breach & penalties	Significant Data Fiduciary, the DPO role, breach notification and the penalty regime.

Part 2 · Security Safeguards — Implementation (Days 6–11)

Day 6	What 'reasonable security safeguards' means	The safeguards the Act and the draft DPDP Rules expect — translated into a control set.
Day 7	Access control & identity	Least privilege, joiner-mover-leaver, privileged access, and periodic access review.
Day 8	Encryption, masking & data protection	Protecting personal data in transit and at rest; tokenisation and masking.
Day 9	Logging, monitoring & retention	What to log, protecting logs, alerting, and retention aligned to the requirement.
Day 10	Change management, backups & resilience	Controlled changes, tested backups and recovery so data survives the bad day.
Day 11	Processor & vendor safeguards; cross-border	Binding processors by contract, flow-down, and the cross-border transfer checks.

Part 3 · Audit, Evidence & Readiness (Days 12–15)

Day 12	Know your data — RoPA, purpose & retention	Build the data map the whole programme reads from, with purpose and retention.
Day 13	DPIA & privacy by design	Run a Data Protection Impact Assessment and build protection in from the start.
Day 14	Breach response & notification	Detect, contain, assess, notify the Board and affected people, and learn.
Day 15	Auditing the safeguards + mock readiness audit	Evidence, testing and a mock DPDPA readiness audit — then your certificate.

How do I enrol, and what's the fee?

Admissions are in progress for the batch beginning 2 November 2026. Message us on WhatsApp (+91 78939 44467) and our team will share the full brochure, schedule, fee and enrolment details.

Do I need a background?

No. We build the context as we go. Some IT or compliance familiarity helps, but it isn't required.

Is this only the law, or hands-on?

Both — and the emphasis is on doing. Roughly a third is the law, a third is implementing the security safeguards, and a third is auditing them.

Is this an accredited certification?

You receive a verifiable Certificate of Achievement from Srida IT Consulting and Services Pvt. Ltd. It recognises practical capability; it is not a government or accredited certification, and it is not legal advice.

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded and shared, so you can catch up and revise anytime.

Program content is educational and does not constitute legal advice. The DPDP Act and draft DPDP Rules are referenced for teaching; confirm the current text and your specific applicability before relying on anything for compliance.
