Data Protection and the IT Act 2000: Bridging the Gaps

Author(s) Mr. ASHISH KUMAR SINGH
Country India
Abstract In this paper, we have discussed the Data protection is an increasingly critical concern in the digital age, with the proliferation of data-driven technologies and the growing volume of personal and sensitive information being processed. India's Information Technology Act of 2000 (IT Act 2000) has been the cornerstone of the legal framework governing data protection and cybersecurity in the country for over two decades. However, with the evolution of technology and the changing landscape of data privacy, it is essential to assess whether the IT Act 2000 adequately addresses the challenges and gaps in data protection. This research paper aims to evaluate the IT Act 2000 in the context of contemporary data protection needs, identify the gaps, and propose recommendations for its enhancement to align with international best practices and emerging data privacy standards.
