Employee Data Protection Training Programs
Why Employee Training Is Critical Under DPDP
Human error remains one of the leading causes of data breaches. Common issues include:
- Sharing data with unauthorized individuals
- Weak password practices
- Phishing and social engineering attacks
- Improper data storage or disposal
- Failure to report incidents on time
The DPDP Act places accountability on organizations to ensure proper safeguards, which includes training employees who process personal data. A lack of training can result in:
- Increased breach risk
- Regulatory penalties
- Loss of customer trust
- Operational disruptions
Employee training is not optional—it is a core component of DPDP compliance.
