A Data Protection Risk Assessment is a crucial document required for organizations operating in India to evaluate their compliance with data protection regulations and identify potential risks in their data handling practices. This assessment has become particularly important with the implementation of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and various sector-specific regulations in India. The document serves as a systematic evaluation tool that helps organizations understand their current data protection posture, identify gaps in compliance, and develop actionable remediation plans. It includes detailed analysis of data processing activities, security controls, compliance requirements, and risk mitigation strategies, all specifically tailored to meet Indian regulatory requirements while incorporating global best practices.
