Consequent to the DPDPA Rules to be notified by the Government the following changes are proposed to be made in FDPPI subject to completion of the necessary formalities.
- Members will be provided an option to accept a new Consent form. Those who opt out would not be considered as “Voting Members” but would continue to be eligible for all other member benefits.
- Accredited auditors need to get themselves re-certified and re-accredited as per terms to be announced.
- The new C.DPO.DA. training programs will be conducted with additional sessions covering the new DPDPA Rules and DGPSI-AI.
- Those who have certified themselves as C.DPO.DA. at present will be provided access to additional sessions covering the new rules and DGPSI AI through recorded sessions or otherwise.
- The new examinations will be updated for the new DPDPA rules and DGPSI AI. Existing C.DPO.DA. holders will be required to renew their certifications each year by going through the examination once again.
We await the detailed rules to make further modifications as may be required. We have also requested for the views of all members of the FDPPI community before these changes are formalized.
