DPO hiring gains momentum in India

ETCIO reports on the trends around hiring data protection officers in India. Should the Personal Data Protection Bill become law, companies will be required to bring DPOs on staff. In the interim, Catenon Managing Director-APAC Gaurav Chattur has seen chief information officers place an emphasis on having privacy professionals on the chief information security officer's team. CIEL HR Services Director and CEO Aditya Narayan Mishra has also observed IT professionals are increasingly placed into privacy roles rather than traditional technology positions.
