DPDPA in Action


Course

Jagannath Sahoo, Yask Sharma and Neilmani Sahu examine the practical challenges of meeting DPDPA's 72-hour breach notification requirement and why existing cyber response playbooks fall short.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, DPDPA, has fundamentally changed the breach response game for Indian enterprises. With a mandatory 72-hour breach notification window to the Data Protection Board, CISOs can no longer afford fragmented playbooks, slow forensics or siloed decision-making.

 

In this session, the panelists share hard-earned lessons on building breach response programs that meet DPDPA's aggressive timeline without sacrificing investigative rigor, legal defensibility or stakeholder trust.

 

This session will cover:

  • How privacy incidents differ from cyber incidents in their triggers, accountability chains and regulatory consequences;
  • Why breach notification under DPDPA demands multilingual communication, translation pipelines and human-in-the-loop validation that cannot be handled manually within a 72-hour window;
  • How organizations must build and test fallback mechanisms - separate from their primary IT systems - to ensure notification capability survives the very attack that triggers the obligation. 

Here is the course outline:
