Privacy Mode as a platform for shaping policies

Given the inevitable digitization of ever increasing areas of lives by industries and governments, it is critical that people with technical expertise participate not only in the implementation of pragmatic standards and practices around data, privacy, and security, but in shaping meaningful policies.

Making Privacy and Data Security a Priority

Data breaches are a fairly common, recurring phenomenon. Protecting this data has two facets - Data Security to protect information from unauthorized entities and Privacy to protect the same information entrusted by the end-user from being accessed by internal teams unnecessarily. Data Security is a relatively mature domain as compared to Privacy as there are established norms on how we can prote… more

Using Privacy Mode BPGs

At Zerodha, we collect logs and ingest them into our pretty-much standard out-of-the-box setup of ELK with some minor configuration for scaling up. Due to our regulatory obligations, we need to have specific retention policies for storing logs. These could include access logs as well as application logs which are usually ingested from various multiple instances of internal apps. We apply the mask… more

A Forum for Open Discussions and Learning

Almost every organisation today is storing or processing huge amounts of sensitive data and each one of them is trying to actively solve for data governance and data security with their organisation’s lens and their compliance requirements.

The Need for Privacy and Data Security

There’s been an exponential change in the way people interact with digital products over the last decade, perhaps more so in the last 5 years. A decade ago only the “tech-savvy” folk had a sizeable digital footprint. Today nearly everyone has one. While it’s great that so many have access to the convenience provided by digital products and communication platforms, this is increasingly at the cost… more

New Perspectives to Workflows

Regulators usually come out with regulations, the compliance/security teams go through the journey of understanding these requirements and mapping them to our context. It helps to connect with others from the industry who go through a similar journey & exchange notes, which is where the Privacy Mode community comes into the picture. It’s really helpful to connect with peers from other companies a… more

Fantastic one-stop repository on all things related to data policy

At the heart of our digital world is data, which makes data rights, privacy, and valuation foundational for the smooth functioning of our society. The current status quo with respect to data regulation is neither satisfactory nor equitable and permits a wide range of data abuse. Given the far-reaching implications of data regulatory policy such as the Personal Data Protection Bill, and Non-Person… more
