Deloitte India partners with Securiti to enhance data privacy and compliance

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP (Deloitte India) has announced a partnership with data privacy and security company Securiti to address growing challenges in data governance, privacy, and compliance.

The collaboration combines Deloitte India’s domain expertise with Securiti’s technology platforms to deliver tailored, end-to-end security solutions for businesses navigating increasingly complex regulatory requirements, the consultancy firm said in a statement.

The partnership aims to support organisations in automating privacy operations, improving Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and enhancing compliance frameworks. This comes in the context of regulatory developments such as India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), which emphasises data protection, consent, and transparency. The act adds to the compliance obligations businesses face under international frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

According to both firms, Deloitte and Securiti aim to provide a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to meet these challenges. The offerings focus on addressing the rising global demand for effective data protection, security, and governance mechanisms, particularly as organisations increasingly operate in interconnected digital ecosystems.

“As data custodians in a digitally interconnected world, we recognise that privacy is not just a legal mandate but a moral imperative. The DPDPA challenges us to elevate our standards, and our strategic partnership with Securiti reflects our unwavering dedication to exceeding these expectations,” Deepa Seshadri, Partner and Leader — Cyber, Deloitte South Asia, said in a statement.

She added that at a time when personal data protection is intrinsic to every innovation, ensuring that trust remains the bedrock upon which all digital interactions are built.

John Cunningham, Vice President of APAC and Middle East at Securiti, highlighted the alliance’s potential to scale operations while addressing data sovereignty and regulatory compliance concerns in India. He noted that Securiti’s recent deployment of a public cloud data command centre in India aligns with this goal.

As Indian organisations are faced with a wave of technological advancements and economic disruptions, about 65 per cent of tech executives identify cybersecurity and compliance as their top priority for digital adoption, according to a survey by Deloitte India published in August.

The report further stressed that chief investment officers will have to remain agile to adopt future technologies across business functions. While cybersecurity, cloud, and artificial intelligence/machine learning will continue to remain important, generative AI and human-centric technologies will be some of the key drivers of future digital transformation, it said.
