The Compliance Burden
With the digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) coming into full force, Indian enterprises face strict requirements for data handling. Simultaneously, global clients demand SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.
Framework harmonization
Instead of treating each regulation as a separate silo, smart CISOs are adopting a "test once, comply many" approach. By mapping controls across frameworks, organizations can reduce audit fatigue and operational overhead.
Actionable Steps
- Data Discovery: Know exactly where your PII resides.
- Consent Management: Implement robust tools to track user consent.
- Incident Response Drills: Verify your ability to report breaches within mandated timelines (e.g., 72 hours).
