Significant Data Fiduciary
Also known as: SDF
A Data Fiduciary, or class of them, notified as Significant by the Central Government based on factors including the volume and sensitivity of personal data processed, risk to Data Principals, and potential effects on the sovereignty and integrity of India, electoral democracy, security of the State and public order.
The classification brings additional duties: a Data Protection Officer based in India and answerable to the board, an independent data auditor, and Data Protection Impact Assessments with periodic audits. Determining and recording your status is itself a compliance step.
