Breach Tabletop Exercise Audit
Liability Check
A data breach is not 'if', but 'when'. Under DPDP, failure to respond swiftly and notify within 72 hours can lead to penalties that cripple your business. Don't let panic be your plan.
Why Breach Tabletop Exercise Audit is at Risk
The DPDP Act demands an effective incident response plan. Without rehearsing a breach scenario, your security, legal, and leadership teams will likely fumble critical steps like **evidence preservation, user impact assessment, and timely notification** to the Data Protection Board. Imagine a ransomware attack on your Bangalore tech park office or a phishing scam compromising sensitive customer KYC data – every second counts. An uncoordinated response directly exposes you to massive fines for delayed reporting and inadequate data protection.
Common Violations
- 1.No documented incident response plan or playbook for common breach scenarios.
- 2.Failure to conduct internal investigations or preserve critical evidence immediately post-breach.
- 3.Delayed notification to affected Data Principals and the Data Protection Board (beyond 72 hours) due to internal confusion and lack of clear roles.
The Immediate Fix
Schedule an internal or external breach tabletop exercise this month. Use a realistic scenario (e.g., a SaaS platform data leak or insider threat) to identify gaps in your current incident response plan, clarify team roles, and test communication protocols.
