Data Protection Essentials
A practical course on knowing what information the business holds, classifying and labelling it, handling and sharing it responsibly, keeping it only as long as needed, controlling what suppliers can do with it, and keeping track of legal and contractual obligations. India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act is covered only in general terms; always confirm current requirements with official sources or advisers. The course supports related ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A controls but does not by itself make an organisation compliant.
