“The data protection bill is a much-needed law that has been pending for years. India, a host to the second-highest population of smartphone users, is prone to data breaches in social apps because, currently, we don’t have an apt law on how social apps handle our personal data. With this revised data protection bill, cybersecurity became the forefront of data management. Since the coming of the guidelines, tech firms will now pay special attention to data protection, privacy, and residency. With hefty penalties, it might be a burden for small and medium organizations to meet compliance needs.“
