Data Privacy Simplified: PCQuest DPDPA Workshop to Stay Ahead of the Curve

In today’s digital age, protecting data isn’t just a box to tick—it’s the shield that keeps businesses running smoothly and customers trusting your brand. That’s where the Digital Data Privacy Compliance Workshop comes in. We at PCQuest, in partnership with SM Consulting, are organizing a one-day workshop powered by Fortinet and Ingram on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDPA 23). This workshop will cut through the jargon and provide real-world tools and strategies. Think of it as a playbook for tackling the rising demands of data security without losing your mind—or your clients.

The sessions will be led by Vasanthika Srinath, a legal expert with sharp insights into regulatory frameworks; SP Arya, a senior partner at SM Consulting who brings decades of hands-on industry experience; and Sameer Mathur, a managing partner known for delivering practical solutions that businesses can actually use. Together, they’ll break down the complexities of data security and give you tools you can put to work immediately

What’s the Big Idea?

Data privacy can feel like trying to assemble a puzzle without the picture on the box. This workshop isn’t about drowning you in legal talk or buzzwords; it’s about making things click.

Picture this: Your company’s handling sensitive data, and you want to avoid fines and bad press. What do you do? That’s where this workshop steps in. It’ll teach you how to pinpoint gaps in your privacy processes, figure out what kind of information you’re storing, and create systems that meet both legal standards and user expectations.

Here’s How It Works

The day kicks off with an engaging keynote. Expect straight talk about why data privacy is a game-changer for businesses big and small. Then, we dive right into the nitty-gritty:

• Morning: Get a breakdown of DPDPA 23 and how it impacts businesses like yours. Learn how to identify sensitive personal information and create maps that show where and how data flows in your organization.
• Midday: Roll up your sleeves for hands-on exercises. You’ll evaluate your current processes, discover what’s missing, and learn to plug those gaps. Lunch isn’t just a break—it’s a chance to swap stories and tips with industry pros over a plate of something tasty.
• Afternoon: Things heat up as we talk about practical tools. From managing user consent to embedding privacy into product design, these sessions are all about real-world applications. Finish strong with a panel discussion featuring experts who’ve been in the trenches.

Let’s not sugarcoat it—data compliance isn’t optional anymore. One mistake can cost you big, both in cash and reputation. But this workshop isn’t just about staying out of trouble. It’s about turning data privacy into a competitive edge. Customers want to know their info is safe, and businesses that show they care come out ahead.
