The setting up of a DPA will be a reflection of a comprehensive approach towards data management
“The committee’s recommendation for setting up a Data Protection Authority (DPA) which will be responsible for monitoring, enforcement, standard setting, awareness creation and grievance handling is a reflection of a comprehensive approach towards data management in India. With several instances of data leaks on both individual as well as organizational level that have taken place in the past had created an alarming situation across the country. With the regulation taking form, citizens of the country can now be assured of the safety of their sensitive data. Similar to EU’s GDPR, the Data Protection Law in India is a much needed regulation which will institutionalize processes for organizations across all sectors to better manage both primary and secondary,” says Ramesh Mamgain, Area Vice President, India and SAARC Region, Commvault.
Further, data fiduciaries and data processors alike may be liable for damages in case there is a violation of the terms of the bill such as
• During a personal data security breach
• If the data processor acts outside the instructions of the data fiduciary,
• If either the data processor or the data fiduciary is negligent or does not incorporate adequate safeguards while analysing the data.”
