CERT-IN was commissioned in 2004 as part of the Ministry of IT with an objective of securing Indian Cyberspace. It is empowered under Section 70B of ITA 2000 as a Nodal Agency for Cyber Security Incident Response. As a part of its activity it has empanelled nearly 200 organizations who conduct Information Security audits in critical sectors.
Now a time has come when all IS auditors need to upgrade and expand their services to include DPDPA audits. CERT In has recognized this and sent a circular to all its empanelled auditors to take note of the certification programs like what FDPPI is conducting in Mumbai on January 24,25 and 26, leading to C.DPO.DA. certification.
Till end of today an early bird discount was available for all participants since the program was meant for even those professionals who are not empanelled with CERT IN. The early bird discount will end today but the registrations will continue.
As per our arrangement with CERT IN, the empanelled auditors will continue to get a discount and a special price.
We wish all interested professionals will take advantage of this opportunity and register themselves without delay since the number of seats will be limited.
Organizations which want more than one member to participate may contact our Mumbai Chapter President Mr Bondiah Adepu for nulk discount.
All participants will get a participation certificate , one year free membership, Books worth Rs 5000/- and also an entry to the C.DPO.DA. exam . If they complete the online exam successfully, they will be able to get the full certificate.
We hope all professionals in Mumbai and around take advantage of this Certification Program which is a “Crown Jewel of Privacy Certifications in India”
The program will cover DPDPA Act and Rules, ITA 2000 (to the extent necessary) and the DGPSI implementation and audit framework. Program will be inaugurated by Mr Abhishek of CERT In and the sessions will be conducted by Naavi as the lead faculty.
Some feedback from the previous program conducted in Bengaluru is available below.
