High-risk data fiduciaries to be regulated more granularly under Data Bill: MoS IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar

The upcoming Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill will create a category called ‘high-risk significant data fiduciaries’, and regulations on firms that process a large quantum of user data or critical user data will be much more detailed compared with regular data fiduciaries, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and information technology told ET.

“In the DPDP, we have a category of higher risk significant data fiduciaries, and they will be regulated much more granularly with much more closer attention. The regulations and the compliances for them will be a lot more than a normal data fiduciary,” Chandrasekhar said speaking on the sidelines of the Digital India Bill deliberations in Mumbai.
