The IT community has gone through the phase of discussing the need for building an “Information Security” culture in the organization. There after we also went through the phase of building a “Privacy Culture”.
In both these phases, we focussed on the people in the organization and tried to educate them on security issues and privacy issues.
While the efforts for building an information security culture and privacy culture continue, they are now being subsumed by the new requirement of building a “Compliance Culture” in organizations.
This requirement is typical of the Indian market where we always stretch the compliance requirement till we are forced to comply.
The time has therefore come now to build a “Compliance Culture” in an organization. In this context, an “Organization” is the aggregation of the senior executives who have gone through the implementation of measures in their respective work places to ensure that their subordinates are impregnated with the importance of information security and privacy and why they all need to change their attitudes to work and attitudinally re-orient themselves to practice better security and privacy ethics and technology in their day to day work.
FDPPI is now embarking on leading Indian organizations into this phase through its program.. “Data Trust Score, the future of Privacy Protection”.
“Data Trust Score” or DTS, is the suggested measure of “Maturity of Data Protection Law Compliance” in India. It is a suggested deliverable of a data auditor who audits the data protection practices of a company in India. It works like the “Credit Rating” assigned for financial instruments by Credit rating agencies such as CRISIL or ICRA.
FDPPI which has created an eco-system for certified Data protection audits based on the indigenously developed framework of DPCSI (Data Protection Compliance Standard of India) is adopting the DTS-DPCSI, as model for calculation of DTS on the DPCSI framework.
DTS-DPCSI is the first of its kind concept and would be the forerunner of similar assessment yardsticks that will emerge in future for other frameworks also.
The life of a Data Protection Professional will not be complete without understanding the concept of DTS and how it can be applied in their work environment.
Let us start our journey in understanding the concept of DTS through a virtual presentation to be made by Naavi on 10th July 2022 at 11.00 am.
