The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) significantly impacts privacy regulations, holding businesses more accountable for their data handling practices. To comply with the Act, organizations must adopt robust data protection and privacy safeguards, where authentication plays a crucial role. By confirming user identities and restricting access to sensitive personal information, authentication techniques such as two-factor and multifactor authentication take on the role of the first line of defense. This proactive approach guards against any unauthorized access. Furthermore, enhanced tracking and auditing capabilities help comply with DPDPA’s data integrity and confidentiality provisions. But authentication isn’t a stand-alone solution. It is imperative that it is seamlessly integrated into the end-to-end technology layer of underlying privacy solutions. The session will cover the use of right authentication systems to effectively meet DPDPA compliance standards and integration with other privacy technology components for seamless data protection.
