SL Achieves Major Data Protection Milestone 🛡️

• CICRA Campus successfully concluded Sri Lanka's inaugural Certified Data Protection Officer (DPO) Training Program, marking a significant step towards robust national compliance. • This achievement nurtures the first batch of qualified DPOs essential for implementing the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) requirements. • The intensive four-day program attracted a high-calibre cohort of senior professionals, including CEOs, Directors, and specialised Heads from legal, compliance, and IT/security functions. • Training provided practical expertise in key PDPA areas: conducting data audits, managing security breaches, and establishing comprehensive organisational data protection frameworks. • The program featured trainers and guest speakers who are leading industry experts, including former and current members of the PDPA Drafting Committee. • This initiative, alongside the Data Privacy & Protection Summit 2025 (3 July, 350+ attendees), strengthens Sri Lanka's overall capacity in data governance, positioning it as a key player in the region.
