India is in the midst of a major overhaul as to the Privacy and Data Protection legislation. After 5 years of uncertainty the DPDPA has finally been enacted.

However we all know that due to the unreasonable and often politically motivated opposition, the law had to be repeatedly re-drafted. Now we have a law that is simple and difficult to be challenged.

Current Challenges are limited to why Privacy is given a priority over RTI? Why the DPB is not constituted by the Leader of Opposition?. Some are asking why non digital information not included? Why CJI is not the head of DPB? Why Government has to have power to make rules and not me? etc. These are great questions to ask but most of the objections are without substance and donot answer the question …How long we need to delay the passing of the law till a consensus is arrived at which the nay-sayers are determined not to allow.

Hence Government has passed the law in its present form and will issue notifications to provide more clarity. The GDPR fans will realize that despite a 99 article law in a society with a long history of Privacy legislations, EDPB guidelines and earlier WP guidelines continue to come out as subordinate legislation. Hence our law with a simpler construction will also need to be supplemented with subordinated legislation.

Recognizing this, FDPPI has designed all its Certification Courses with a guarantee of providing one major update after 3 months on whatever notifications come through and bring the certified professionals into a close group to continue their education through self learning with weekly knowledge sessions.

Thus FDPPI programs are future proof.

It may sound crazy that when FDPPI recently launched its new DPDPA based CDPP trainings, it offered it’s earlier certified members a complete remission of their earlier fee provided they join the new training. Though new trainings were at a higher price, the discounts were huge enough to call it commercially unwise and unnecessary.

As an NGO committed to the Data Protection Industry, FDPPI/Naavi wants every person who undergoes FDPPI certifications to feel that he/she has received value for money several times over. Fortunately this has not been difficult since the others have voluntarily placed themselves at a range where comparison is meaningless.

Quality or Price, FDPPI Certifications are the Gold Standard for the industry and will continue to be so…. This will be the Mission of FDPPI and Naavi

With the passage of DPDPA 2023, multiple training programs are being offered across India by different organizations and different trainers. It is expected that all trainers would have a reasonably good knowledge.

But for the aspiring trainees… there is a dilemma. Which training to chose? What cost to bear? If I have already spent Rs 65000 for GDPR training, should I spend more now? etc.

Look at the picture below… at least two perspectives exist about the picture…Is it a young lady or an old lady or both?

Similarly different training programs on DPDPA may present different perspectives on DPDPA or the Compliance requirements which are essential for the DPO and or the Data Auditor.

You will find Naavi’s perspective in FDPPI’s CDPP (India) starting from August 26 as a 12 hour online training program on 4 days Aug 26/27 and September 2/3 at 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm. It comes with the FDPPI assurance of continuing education through periodical updatations like the bridging sessions we conducted earlier or through special mentoring sessions.

Choose the right training so that there is no need to repeat the training …

Recruiters who are today unaware of Indian Data Protection developments but look at Indian Data Protection Law in the eyes of GDPR often miss the point that to be an effective Data Protection Professional in India, we need to study Indian law first before enhancing it with global laws. Similarly to be an effective Data Auditor, we need to understand PDPCSI first before ISO 27701.

Naavi as a pioneer in Cyber Law and Privacy Education in India is offering a clear path for professionals to acquire current relevant knowledge in India on Data Protection Law and provide peer recognition.

Now Naavi through FDPPI has provided a unique modular process for building your career in Data Protection.

The suggestion is to first learn Indian law on Data Protection, which includes the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 passed recently along with the Information Technology Act 2000 which retains many aspects of Personal Data management . This can be achieved through CDPP (India).

One course for this purpose is commencing on 26th Of August as a week end afternoon batch. It will cover 12 hours of training, 3 hours each on 26th, 27th August , 2nd and 3rd of September between 2.30 to 5.30. The fee is Rs 15000/- (inclusive of GST) which includes registration in Indian National Register of Data Protection Professionals (www.inrdpp.in) which otherwise costs Rs 3000/-

This is a batch in addition to a batch being conducted exclusively for Elite CISO which is on September 2, 3, 9 and 10 for 3 hours each between 10.30 am and 1.30 pm.

CDPP (India) is step 1 to becoming C-DPO-DA or Certified Data Protection Officer and Data Auditor. CDPODA requires completion of two more modules namely Module G on Global Data Protection laws and the Module on Data Audit (Module A) which covers the nuances of ISO 27701 and PDPCSI in depth.

All the three modules together cost Rs 45000/- (inclusive of GST) and includes the registration in Indian National Register of Data Protection Professionals, (worth Rs 3000) Basic membership of FDPPI (worth Rs 6000).

Compare this with any other alternative program available to equip yourself with knowledge and recognition and take a wise decision today.

In a recent study in California Berkley, scientists successfully captured brainwaves from some of the patients who were undergoing surgery for epilepsy while listening to music and using AI interpreted the brain waves to re-create the song they were listening to.

While this demonstrated the power of AI, it also indicated how the advancement of technology has opened up the human brainwaves as a readable neuro data.

Unfortunately no law addresses the need to regulate the science of interfering with human thoughts and the ethics of whether this needs regulation is a matter of debate.
