At present there is a large section of professionals in India with expertise to conduct audits for Information Security and some of them are also engaged as “CERT-IN Accredited Auditors”. The CERT IN auditors were expected to be a hybrid type of auditors who were capable of assessing the Information System Controls from the perspective of compliance to the ITA 2000 provisions which was the law of the land. This required a “Techno Legal Understanding” that not all IS auditors could manage successfully.
With the need to now understand DPDPA 2023, the role of Techno Legal Auditors in India has undergone a further change and there is an urgent need to upgrade the expertise of “Technically qualified Information Security Auditors to understand the need to conduct audits with the Legal perspective”.
This transformation from Technical Information Security Audit to Techno Legal DPDPA audit is the need of the day and is being addressed by FDPPI though its C.DPO.DA. (Certified Data
Protection Officer and Data Auditor) Course.

In order to expand the reach of such course, FDPPI and CERT-IN are together conducting a three-day offline program exclusively designed for Information Security experts including Cert-IN accredited auditors. The first of such program will be held in Bengaluru, on 27th ,28th & 29th September 2024.
