India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA)—together with the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (DPDPR) is reshaping how organisations manage personal data—shifting the focus from compliance checklists to demonstrable accountability.

With penalties of up to INR 250 crore and rising breach costs, leaders must rethink how they protect data across cloud services, software as a service (SaaS) platforms, collaboration tools, and AI-driven workflows.

This white paper explains what the DPDPA and DPDPR require—and how to operationalise those requirements in the real world.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• What the DPDPA means for Data Fiduciaries and Processors
• Core obligations including consent, breach notification, and Data Principal rights
• Key risk areas such as insider threats, data sprawl, and AI-driven exposure
• How to demonstrate accountability with measurable, outcome-based controls
• Why a people-focused approach is critical to reducing personal data risk

Discover how Proofpoint’s human- and AI-centric data security platform helps you reduce exposure, strengthen breach readiness, and align with India’s evolving regulatory landscape.
