"Healthcare providers process the most sensitive personal data in the Digital YUG. The convergence of DPDP Act 2023 and NABH standards creates a unique compliance landscape for hospital CISOs."
Mapping Sensitive Health Data
The first step is identifying where patient health records (PHR) and diagnostic data are stored. Under DPDP, these are classified as personal data requiring high levels of protection and specific consent protocols.
Addressing Rule 7(b) in Healthcare
Breaches in healthcare often involve life-critical information. The 72-hour reporting requirement applies here with even greater scrutiny, requiring hospital emergency response teams to be data-ready.
Final Assessment
For healthcare providers, DPDP compliance is an extension of patient care. Securing data is as vital as securing the operating theater.
