A new legal mandate
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act was published in the official Gazette on 11 August 2023, creating India’s first dedicated data-privacy law.
Why OIDPM
The case for the India Data Protection Mark
Rapid advances in digital health, combined with a brand-new privacy law, make independent, objective compliance assurance essential. OIDPM is built for exactly that.
The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 is primarily concerned with the privacy and security of digital personal data. It recognises both the right of individuals to protect their personal data and the need to process such data for lawful purposes, much like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The ORCHA India Data Protection Mark (OIDPM) is an assessment used to benchmark a digital-health technology’s stated compliance against the Act. It delivers a swift, independent and objective evaluation of your digital-health product.

OIDPM benchmarks a digital-health technology’s stated compliance against the DPDP Act 2023, swiftly, independently and objectively.
