K&S Digiprotect: Bridging the Gap Between Deep Tech & Deep Law
Data is more than just a valuable asset today - it is the lifeblood of modern businesses. The past decade has seen a seismic shift in how personal data is perceived and valued, driven by the convergence of social, mobile, analytics, and cloud (SMAC) technologies. This transformation has ushered in a new era of data sensitivity and vulnerability, necessitating stringent data protection measures worldwide. Stepping up to address these challenges is K&S Digiprotect, a 360-degree data protection company dedicated to guiding organizations through the intricacies of data security and privacy.K&S Digiprotect’s mission revolves around empowering organizations during their digital transformation by providing comprehensive support and expertise at the intersection of law and technology. The company, backed by the rich legacy of 30-year-old law firms, K&S Partners and JSA, boasts a robust legal and technological foundation.
“Thanks to the information technology revolution, every aspect of life has become data-enabled. Given the rapid pace of digitization and the continuously evolving regulatory landscape, organizations need a partner to navigate this maze and modify their processes and technologies accordingly. That's where we come in”, explains S. Chandrasekhar, MD and CEO of K&S Digiprotect.
Bridging the gap between legal and technical domains, K&S Digiprotect specializes in regulatory compliance, advisory services, and data governance. The company’s robust data privacy services include privacy risk and impact assessments, data discovery and classification, data remediation, and compliance with various privacy laws and industry standards such as DPDPA, GDPR, and CPRA. Furthermore, 'privacy by design' consultation ensures the integration of privacy considerations into the development of new products and services from the outset.
Besides data privacy expertise, K&S Digiprotect provides a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity services, including vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) and application security, cloud security, and network security assessments. The company also offers various training and certification programs, such as Data Protection Officer (DPO) training, privacy awareness training, privacy capacity building programs, and information security management system (ISMS) training.
K&S Digiprotect’s structured client engagement methodology begins with an ‘as-is' assessment to identify the sources and handling of data within an organization. Following this, the company proposes the ‘to-be’ state, aligning practices with regulatory requirements, such as data consent management and minimization. The process culminates in remediation and ongoing support to maintain high compliance levels, including ISO 27001or ISO 27701 certification.
K&S Digiprotect distinguishes itself through its multidisciplinary team, comprising lawyers, MBAs, and IT specialists, many of whom bring experience from government regulatory bodies. “Our unique selling proposition is the ability of our diverse and experienced team to hand-hold customers through the regulatory and IT implementation divide”, asserts Chandrasekhar. “Our team includes former bureaucrats and ex-government regulators with a deep understanding of regulations. Personally, I have the experience of implementing large scale projects like the Passport Seva project", he further adds.
Looking ahead, Chandrasekhar acknowledges the impending impact of AI on data privacy. “From deep fakes to biometrics copying, the threats are evolving. Newer types of fraud and regulations will emerge, making personal data and privacy even more critical. It’s a perpetual cat-and-mouse game between cybersecurity measures and malicious actors.”
K&S Digiprotect is preparing to meet these challenges head-on, continually developing new techniques to stay ahead in the privacy protection game. As not just a service provider but a trusted partner, the company will continue to ensure that organizations can thrive in the digital age while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and compliance.
