The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) of 2023 marks a pivotal milestone in India’s data protection journey. Designed to uphold privacy and promote responsible data practices, the act emphasizes security and accountability in managing personal data. For Indian enterprises, navigating this new regulatory framework can be daunting. That’s where Skyhigh Security comes in, empowering businesses to enhance data protection while supporting compliance efforts.

The Compliance angle

The DPDPA establishes principles such as data security, accountability, and transparency, guiding organizations in their data handling practices.
