DPCSI and the Intelligence theory

Today, I received a WhatsApp regarding four types of intelligence, namely,

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

The forward defined the different types of intelligence as follows:

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

This triggered a thought about the DPCSI  which is being suggested for Data Protection Compliance in India. and how the DPCSI incorporates all the four types of intelligence represented above  in its Standards and Implementation Specifications.

The 12 standards of the DPCSI framework are given below:

In the above standards,

Standards Law Based scoping, Data Classification, Privacy By design at entity level, represent the intelligence quotient and measure of the level of comprehension of the compliance requirements.

Emotional quotient is captured by the inclusion of Communication, Governance Committee, workforce control.

Social Quotient is captured by Distributed responsibility.

Adversity quotient is represented by the Risk appetite based charter.

The implementation specifications that go with this standard also reflect the four types of requirement of the framework which need to address the legal issues of compliance, technical architecture for compliance, the workforce and top management support and the need for external and internal communication with stake holders.

We can therefore feel confident that DPCSI is “Intelligent” and meets the expectations of Data Protection Professionals just as the above types of intelligence recognized by psychologists.
