DPAI will work as the watchdog for data protection in India
“The Srikrishna panel report has laid down numerous vital points when it comes to protecting the data of Indian citizens- the most crucial being the creation of DPAI - the intended watchdog for data protection in India. Privacy advocates across the country will be hoping that DPAI's powers are not thinned when finally executed. The panel has also included provisions to prohibit organizations from using privacy as a veil to stall transparency. The penalities proposed by the panel report, if administered as is, will be a great deterrent and effectively ensure data assurance for Indian citizens,” comments Farrhad Acidwalla, media entrepreneur and founder of CYBERNETIV.
Once the Data Privacy Bill mandates certain requirement, it is bound to shake up the existing ecosystem and customers will ask of simpler ways to implement the security requirements as asked for by the Data Privacy Bill. It is expected that in longer term it shall simplify the adoption of security practices by nudging the organizations to build privacy by design rather than thinking of it as an after-thought.
