Exam Strategy
UPSC Prelims tests CERT-In's mandate, reporting protocols, and DPDP Act 2023's core provisions separately. Recent exams focus on data principal rights, data fiduciary obligations, and CERT-In's role in critical infrastructure protection. Avoid conflating CERT-In advisory functions with law enforcement; memorise DPDP Act's definition of 'sensitive personal data' and consent-based processing framework.
