Build a DPDPA program end-to-end - data inventory, consent, rights, breach response, audits, and a full toolkit.
What you'll learn
Build a DPDPA implementation program from scratch - scope, roadmap, budget, and cross-functional team - mapped to real business and regulatory drivers.
Run data discovery, data flow mapping, classification, and RoPA to establish a defensible personal data inventory
Design consent lifecycle, notice journeys, and data principal rights workflows that hold up under Board scrutiny
Implement technical controls - IAM, encryption, key management, DLP, logging, and privacy by design in the SDLC
Requirements
No prior privacy law knowledge required - the Act, its principles, and its stakeholders are built up from first principles in Section 1.
Basic familiarity with how organizations run (IT, legal, HR, vendor relationships) helps you place the controls in context.
A willingness to work with the downloadable templates - this is a build-it course, not a read-it course
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Need to implement India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act - not just understand it? This course gives you a structured, practical, implementation-focused path from the first executive conversation to the annual board review, combining planning, data discovery, governance, organisational and technical controls, breach management, and continuous compliance into one integrated build.
Why this matters right now. The DPDPA extends enforceable rights to over a billion data principals, and its obligations reach any organisation processing their data - inside India or outside it. Penalties run to ₹250 crore. But the real story isn't the penalty; it's the shortage. Reading the Act is easy and thousands of professionals have done it. Standing up a defensible program - inventory, consent architecture, rights workflows, breach playbooks, evidence repositories - is hard, and very few can do it. That gap is where your value sits.
This course is a build, not a briefing. You will work through plain-language explanations, real enterprise scenarios, hands-on assignments, and AI-powered role plays where you negotiate with the people who actually decide whether compliance happens.
What You Get
- Benchmark assessment at the start, chapter quizzes throughout, and a full-length final practice test
- Hands-on assignments that build real artifacts - readiness assessments, RoPAs, roadmaps, policies
- AI role plays with a sceptical CFO, a defensive business head, a hard-negotiating vendor, an escalating data principal, a cautious General Counsel, and an audit committee chair
- A downloadable toolkit of 20 templates, checklists, playbooks, and reference guides
- Real-world examples spanning retail, financial services, healthcare, insurance, and logistics
What This Course Covers
- The DPDP Act: objectives, principles, scope, extraterritorial reach, exemptions, and stakeholders
- Program planning: executive sponsorship, budget, cross-functional teams, scope, readiness, gap analysis, roadmap
- Data discovery: personal data inventory, data flow mapping, classification, RoPA, high-risk processing screening
- Governance: privacy operating models, the DPO question, RACI, policies, notices, retention schedules, DPAs
- Organisational controls: consent lifecycle, data principal rights, purpose limitation, minimisation, retention, vendor governance
- Technical controls: IAM, encryption and key management, DLP, logging and monitoring, privacy by design, cloud security
- Incident and breach management: detection, triage, severity assessment, Board notification, forensics, recovery
- Operationalising compliance: awareness and training, internal audits, KPIs and KRIs, maturity models, continuous improvement
- A complete implementation toolkit and a 90-day action plan
Who Will Benefit
- Privacy professionals, DPOs, and privacy program managers implementing DPDPA
- Legal, compliance, and risk teams translating the Act into operational obligations
- Security, IT, GRC, and internal audit professionals who own the underlying controls
- Consultants and advisors delivering DPDPA engagements to clients
- Project managers, business leaders, and executives scoping, funding, or sponsoring the program
- Anyone building privacy expertise in the Indian market
Prerequisites
None beyond curiosity and intent. No prior privacy law background is assumed - Section 1 builds the Act, its principles, and its stakeholder model from first principles, and every legal concept is explained in plain language before it is applied. A general familiarity with how organisations operate - IT systems, vendor relationships, legal and HR functions - will help you place the controls in context, but it isn't required. What does help is a willingness to open the templates and actually build alongside the course. This is a working course. Bring your own organisation's context and you'll walk out with real artifacts, not just notes.
Where This Fits
DPDPA implementation is a core operational credential within the broader Fortivance Academy Data Privacy track. It complements programs and certifications focused on global privacy regimes, privacy program management, privacy engineering, information security, and the fast-converging domain of AI governance - where privacy obligations and AI risk management increasingly meet.
Who this course is for
Privacy professionals, DPOs, legal and compliance teams tasked with making DPDPA real inside their organization.
Security, IT, risk, GRC, and audit professionals who own the controls that privacy compliance depends on.
Consultants, project managers, and business leaders scoping, budgeting, or sponsoring a DPDPA implementation program.
