The curriculum
About 205 minutes of focused study, each module tied to the sections it draws from.
Set the scope precisely - most compliance errors trace back to a wrong call made right here.
The Act governs digital personal data processed in India, and processing outside India where it's tied to offering goods or services to Data Principals in India (Section 3).
Distinguish the Data Principal, the Data Fiduciary (determines purpose and means) and the Data Processor (acts on the Fiduciary's instructions). Accountability sits with the Fiduciary, always.
Digital - or digitised - personal data is in scope; purely personal or domestic processing and certain published data sit outside it (Section 3).
Takeaway - Pin down who the Fiduciary is and whether the processing is in scope before designing a single control.
