ALO provides strategic legal advice on privacy, data protection, and information security, guiding clients through the evolving landscape of data governance and compliance. The firm advises on the formulation and implementation of data protection management programmes, development of internal data privacy policies, documentation of data flows, and classification of sensitive personal data. Its team of professionals works closely with clients to embed the ‘privacy by design’ principle into new technologies and systems while mitigating risks arising from non-compliance with national and international data protection frameworks.
ALO advises on a wide range of issues, including personal data security, identity theft, encryption policies, telecom regulations, and information technology law compliance. ALO also conducts privacy and cybersecurity audits and helps businesses design and implement robust enterprise and operational security mechanisms. These include privacy controls in corporate functions such as human resources and compliance, information asset management, and internal security documentation, ensuring that clients meet legal obligations and are prepared to address evolving data protection challenges in India.
With the enactment of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, India has introduced a comprehensive statutory framework governing the processing of digital personal data. ALO is closely advising clients on compliance with the new law, which emphasises consent-based data processing, accountability of data fiduciaries, data minimisation, and transparency. The firm is assisting clients in updating their data protection policies, privacy notices, and contractual arrangements to align with the new statutory requirements. ALO also supports organisations in preparing for regulatory inspections, managing data breach responses, and navigating cross-border data transfer obligations under the new regime.
