In the United States, assessments are quickly becoming one of the trending requirements of new legislation and proposed bills. CPRA, CPA, and VCDPA all have privacy impact assessment requirements, and as 2023 approaches rapidly organizations should be thinking about how to complete assessments, where to store them, and reporting on assessment outcomes.

Last month, the Indian Joint Parliamentary Committee submitted its report on the 2019 Personal Data Protection Bill after two years of consideration, research, and analysis. The bill, while not a certainty but likely to pass, would replace what some consider to be archaic data protection regulations. Although not finalized, the biggest obstacle if implemented as envisioned is strict data localization. India has been in the group of countries legislating data privacy for decades, culminating in the 2021 JPC report submission. Here’s a look at the history of data privacy legislation in India.
The History of Data Privacy Legislation in India
The long-awaited report submitted December 16, 2021 by the JPC has provided necessary clarification and modifications that seek to enhance the syntax and governance of the bill.
The recommended amendments are as follows:
The implementation timeline for the Data Protection Bill is still unknown but will likely be a phased approach. Like California, there is discussion of an oversight committee called the Data Protection Authority of India that would supervise compliance with the proposed law. With the notable amendments to the bill, it’s unlikely we’ll see this come to fruition quickly. Not unlike most proposed privacy legislation, it has been met with dissent and opposition and will have to make its way through the courts of India before becoming law.
At Truyo we take data privacy and security very seriously.Recently a security vulnerability was reported in the open-source Java library “Log4J” that could allow attackers to execute code and expose or delete personal data. Our platform does not directly use this library. We are taking proactive steps to search all third-party software we use to determine if that software leverages a vulnerable version of Log4J and will communicate any findings. This is in addition to our ongoing efforts of scanning all software components for vulnerabilities as part of the software delivery process. If you have any questions, please contact your account manager or reach out to support@truyo.com for additional information.

In the age of information, organizations have increased the amount of consumer data housed in structured and unstructured environments. As consumers become increasingly aware of this and what their rights are under current and future legislation, the number of data subject access requests is increasing. According to Automated Intellegence, “A body which represents UK data protection officers has reported that there’s been a 66% increase in the average number of DSARs received” (Automated Intelligence, 2021)”
Last month Amazon was hit with the highest personal data fine to date. A whopping $886.6 million (746 million euros) fine was levied against the corporation by the European Union fine for processing personal data in violation of the bloc's GDPR rules. This action foreshadows a privacy climate in which enforcement will be the norm, trending away from the spotty enforcement of the past.
Privacy laws and regulations are put in place to protect consumers and their data, encouraging them to manage their information in a way that makes them feel secure. Some consumers may want their information deleted, not to be sold, or may allow businesses to retain their information entirely. Privacy legislation puts control back in the consumer’s hands.
Privacy laws and regulations have transformed the relationship between businesses and the personal data they collect from consumers. The CCPA grants privacy rights to California’s consumers, which gives them the right to request access, delete, and modify their data. Granting these rights to individuals can place a significant burden on businesses because they must know exactly what data they hold, where, and in what context, which can be an extremely complex process to unfold.
Data privacy is constantly in the news these days, and for good reason.
107 countries have data protection rules in place to secure data privacy.
