Privacy, Security and Regulatory Compliance

1. DPDP Act and Rules

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 have staged commencement. Rules 1, 2 and 17–21 commence on publication; Rule 4 commences one year after publication; Rules 3, 5–16, 22 and 23 commence eighteen months after publication. Ferty9 tracks duties as the relevant provisions become operative.

2. Assisted Reproductive Technology

Where the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 applies, workflows must support written consent, specific consent for cryopreservation and reproductive material, applicable withdrawal before transfer, recordkeeping for at least ten years and transfer to the National Registry as required. Records connected with legal proceedings may be retained longer. Clinical teams must use the approved clinical forms; a website acknowledgement is not ART treatment consent.

3. CERT-In cybersecurity duties

Covered cybersecurity incidents must be assessed for reporting to CERT-In within six hours of noticing the incident or being informed of it. Applicable ICT logs must be maintained securely for at least 180 days within India. Internal incident procedures govern assessment, evidence preservation, escalation and reporting.

4. Security and governance

• Role-based access and least-privilege administration.
• Authentication, session protection, logging and audit controls.
• Controlled development, change, backup and incident processes.
• Supplier review and contractual controls proportionate to risk.
• Data minimisation and use of masked or synthetic data where appropriate.

5. Conditional frameworks

ABDM participation is not claimed unless a specific integration is verified and approved. GDPR and HIPAA are considered only where their territorial, contractual or activity-specific requirements apply. No reference on this page represents a certification.
