Introduction

At present there is a large section of professionals in India with expertise to conduct Information Security Audits as independent auditors and also engaged with “CERT-In empanelled audit firms” . These auditors were expected to have multiple skills and knowledge of audit frameworks so that they demonstrate the capabilities to undertake Information System Controls audits from the perspective of compliance to the ITA 2000/2008 and DPDP Act 2023 provisions. This required a “Techno Legal Understanding” that not all IS auditors could manage successfully. As the DPDP Act, 2023 mandates the organisation to carry-out periodical ‘Data Audits’, the role of Techno Legal Auditors in India has undergone a further change and there is an imminent need to upgrade auditing skill to meet the legal and regulatory compliance of organisation in India in the coming days”.
This transformation from Technical oriented Information Security Audit to Techno Legal focus audit is the need of the day and is being addressed by FDPPI though its C.DPO.DA. (Certified Data Protection Officer and Data Auditor) Training program.

In order to provide the skill set to practicing and aspiring information security auditors, FDPPI is conducting a three-day in-person program exclusively designed for Information Security professionals and Auditors of CERT-In empanelled audit organizations. The first of such program was held in Bengaluru, on 27th ,28th & 29th September 2024. The next program is scheduled in Mumbai from 24th to 26th January, 2025.

Venue : Ginger Hotel, Teli Gali Road, Andheri(E), Mumbai– 400069

Testimonials

FDPPI conducts various training programs and its executives attend many industry interactions. During such interactions the experts from the industry provide feedbacks which are very important for us. It would be encouraging if the comments are good. If not, it would be helping us to improve.

Under DGPSI framework we place importance to “Whistle blowing” because it is the first opportunity to identify developing vulnerabilities and perhaps incidents. Similarly, the feedbacks from our trainees is considered an important input to improving the quality of our trainings. We believe that the success of a training is as much to the audience and their interest as the skills and knowledge of the faculty. Hence some programs may come out as brilliant and some as just acceptable. Our endeavour is however is to ensure that we pass the threshold of acceptability every time.

Here are some of those feedbacks for our records.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: I had an amazing learning experience at a full-day DPDP Act 2023 implementation workshop conducted by FDPPI , led by Mr. Na.Vijayashankar (Naavi). The workshop included interactive sessions with industry leaders and covered various aspects, such as in-depth discussions on DPDPA and Rules with reference to real case studies, exploration of implementation challenges, and insights on how to implement Compliance by Design..

Praveen Singh

Attending the recent session by FDPPI was a truly transformative experience for Concur – Consent Manager, a company that takes immense pride in being a pioneer in building DPDPA compliance solutions. Despite our position as an innovative startup, constantly pushing the envelope and staying ahead of industry standards, this session was a reminder that there’s always room to learn and grow. The session, led by the esteemed Na.Vijayashankar (Naavi), was nothing short of inspiring. His phenomenal understanding of both the law and the challenges associated with its implementation deeply resonated with us on multiple levels. His ability to break down intricate regulatory concepts and weave them into practical, real-world applications was remarkable. As a company that is deeply committed to ensuring that businesses can navigate the evolving landscape of data privacy with ease, this session offered us a fresh perspective. The insights gained from Mr. Naavi’s session have expanded our horizons, challenging us to think even more creatively about how we can embed these regulatory principles into our technology. We’re not just building compliance solutions; we’re building the future of data privacy management in India. We’re excited to translate these insights into tangible features and tools that will empower businesses to not only comply with DPDPA but to do so in a way that’s efficient, transparent, and user-friendly. The session was a powerful reminder that no matter how advanced our solutions may be, there is always more to learn and new ways to innovate. Thank you, Mr. Naavi and FDDPI, for this invaluable experience. We look forward to continuing this journey of learning, growth, and innovation...
