Breach Plan vs Incident Policy for DPDP
Liability Check

Your standard IT incident response plan won't cut it for DPDP. A data breach under DPDP requires specific notifications and evidence, or you face penalties up to ₹250 Crore.

Why Breach Plan vs Incident Policy for DPDP is at Risk

Many Indian businesses, from tech startups in Bengaluru to manufacturing units in Pune, operate with generic IT incident response policies, great for system uptime but inadequate for the **Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP)**. A DPDP-compliant breach plan specifically outlines how you identify, contain, assess, and notify the Data Protection Board and affected Data Principals within prescribed timelines (often 72 hours). It's not just about restoring systems; it's about demonstrating **due diligence** in protecting **personal data** and proving you took all reasonable steps to mitigate harm. A simple 'system down' report won't be enough when the Board asks for detailed **breach incident evidence**.

Common Violations

  • 1.Failing to notify the Data Protection Board and affected Data Principals within 72 hours of discovering a breach involving personal data.
  • 2.Providing generic breach notifications that lack specific details about the types of personal data affected or steps taken.
  • 3.Lacking a clear internal process to differentiate between IT incidents and DPDP-reportable data breaches.

The Immediate Fix

Review your existing IT incident response policy immediately. Identify specific sections that need to be updated to address **DPDP breach notification timelines**, the specific types of **personal data** affected, and the communication protocol for the **Data Protection Board** and **Data Principals**.
