On August 21, 22 and 23, FDPPI will be conducting the first CIDA (Certified Independent Data Auditor) program in Bangalore.
It will be a physical event at Fairfield Marriott hotel in Rajaji Nagar, Bangalore (Location).
The curriculum for the event has already been published .
Earlier we used to conduct a program under the banner C.DPO.DA which was “Certified Data Protection Officer and Data Auditor”. This program was available both for those who were aspiring to be DPOs and those who wanted to be Data Auditors. Now we have two different training and certification programs called CEDPO (Certified Elite DPO) fand CIDA (Certified Independent Data Auditor).
Since an Independent Data Auditor is some body who has to check the work of a DPO, he needs to be as much competent as a DPO in addition to his audit skills.
Considering that many of the participants of the August 21 program might not have gone through the earlier program on DPDPA and DPO requirements. We will supplement the physical CIDA program with a virtual masterclass on CEDO in a compressed form. This will be available free for those who register for CIDA till 9th August 2026. It will be held as a 3 hour session on probably 10th August 2026. (Sunday). Those who attend may also appear for the CEDPO examination by paying an examination fee of Rs 5000/-
Interested persons need to complete the registration for CIDA as early as possible. (Early Bird discount is available till 31st July 2026).
The total fee for CIDA program is Rs 30000+GST of Rs 5400 (Total Rs 35400/-)
The Early bird discounted price is Rs 25000/- +GST of Rs 4500/- (Total Rs 29500/-)
Master class : free for all registrants till 9th August 2026. Examination fee Rs 5000/- (If required.
