NoPaperForms Leads the Charge on Data Security and Compliance for Educational Organizations
Gurugram, India | October 10, 2024: As educational organizations increasingly rely on digital solutions to streamline operations and drive growth, data privacy and security have become top priorities. This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, NoPaperForms, which is India’s largest Vertical SaaS + Embedded Payments platform, is reaffirming its commitment to helping educational organizations safeguard student data and meet the rising demands of compliance.
Decoding DPDPA Compliance with #illuminateByMeritto
On October 10, 2024, NoPaperForms hosted its #illuminateByMeritto webinar titled “Decoding DPDP Compliance for Educational Organizations”. This session addressed one of the most pressing issues for educational organizations today—compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), which is expected to take effect soon. Educational organizations are custodians of vast amounts of sensitive student data, making compliance with data privacy laws essential for maintaining trust and operational integrity.
The webinar brought together industry experts to break down the key aspects of the DPDPA and provide actionable insights tailored specifically for the education sector. Surya Singh, VP (Security and Compliance) at NoPaperForms led the discussion, covering compliance strategies for key stakeholders including data protection officers, IT teams, administrators, and legal advisors. Attendees gained a clear understanding of how to build a DPDPA-ready framework within their organizations, ensuring that student privacy is safeguarded at every level.
Dr. Ananth Padmanabhan, Dean of the School of Law at Vinayaka Mission’s Law School (VMLS) and guest speaker for this session emphasized, “The foremost element of data protection under the DPDPA is consent management. The act mandates that consent must be obtained in a specific manner and for clearly defined purposes. For educational organizations, this means ensuring that consent is not only informed but also specific to the purpose of data collection and processing. They must provide clear information to students and parents regarding how their data will be used, shared, and stored.”
Empowering Organizations with the Essentials of DPDPA Compliance Certification
NoPaperForms’ commitment to driving excellence in education didn’t stop at the webinar. To further support educational organizations, NoPaperForms launched the Essentials of DPDPA for Educational Organizations Certification under its #EnrollymicsByMeritto program, which is a first-of-its-kind, free skill certification for those in student recruitment and enrollment.
Naveen Goyal, CEO and Founder of NoPaperForms remarked on the importance of compliance in the education sector: “Student data is one of the most sensitive forms of personal information. As educators, safeguarding that data isn’t just about regulatory compliance—it’s about trust. At NoPaperForms, we’re committed to empowering educational organizations with the right tools to protect that trust while staying ahead of evolving data privacy requirements.”
