COMPLIANCES FOR COMPANIES UNDER THE DIGITAL PERSONAL DATA ACT,2023
The data privacy regulations, the increasing risk of a data breach, and the migration of
databases to pubic cloud are driving many organizations to more broadly implement database encryption at
the cell, row and entire database levels. While most databases offer integrated encryption capabilities,
the security and compliance of the database relies on secure storage, policy management and audit logging of
database encryption key access. At the same time, high performance databases supporting mission-critical
application require scalable cryptographic key access available across multiple sites globally.

3.3. PR.DS: Data Security
ii. PR.DS: Standard:
1. Data-at-rest and Data-in-transit shall be protected. Strong data protection measures (for both at-rest and in-transit data),
with industry standard encryption algorithms, shall be put in place by all REs. Along with data-at-rest and data-in-transit, MIIs shall also
explore solutions for encrypting data while it is being used/ processed.
