Naavi has embarked on a major project to bring together all Data Protection Consultants into one common platform.
By “Data Protection Consultants”, I mean individuals who are capable of providing guidance to an organization in implementing Privacy or Information Security related compliances.
The set of such consultants also include firms which have teams of multiple consultants and divisions of some large companies which have a vertical for extending such services.
The instrument through which these consultants would interact is a techno legal platform presently identified as “Federation of Data Protection Consultants” (FDPC).
The platform will have multiple objectives.
The first objective is to get together all consultant and consultancy organizations in the domain of Privacy, Data and Protection as well as and Information Security consultancy on one platform as a “Self help Group” with its own self regulatory practices for Ethical business.
The second objective is to enable the consultants to offer their services through the platform.
The third objective is to enable the organizations most of whom may be SME/MSMEs to access the services of these consultants through the platform.
The platform may be considered as a “Data Protection Services Exchange”
The platform will be managed by a “Registrar” who will maintain the technical services.
The platform will be an affiliate of FDPPI but will be a subcontractor.
The platform will be an “Intermediary” under ITA 2000 and act as an aggregator of services and not the service provider himself.
The actual consultancy contract would be between the consultant and the client which will be facilitated by the platform.
In order to improve the credibility and ensure smooth service, the platform may organize secondary back up services under a separate “Contingent Service Contract”.
The process of empanelment of consultants, receiving enquiries from prospective clients, short listing of consultants to a given project, receiving bids, managing preliminary negotiations, as well as dispute resolution will be provided as the platform service. In this process principles used in Arbitration Councils, Tendering processes, Service aggregators etc will all be used appropriately.
It is envisaged that the platform could emerge as a Service Start up under Ujvala Consultants Private Limited and partners to such a project are welcome.
In order to explain the concept further, Naavi conducted an open house discussion today the 11th December 2022 at 11.00 am on Zoom.
