Data Security Council of India

Data Security Council of India (DSCI), a section 25 not-for-profit company, was setup as an independent Self Regulatory Organization (SRO) by NASSCOM, to promote data protection, develop security and privacy codes & standards and encourage the IT/BPO industry to implement the same. DSCI has developed Best Practices for Data Protection that are in line with global standards and cover emerging disciplines of security and privacy. While its immediate goal is to raise the level of security and privacy of IT and BPO service providers to assure their clients and other stakeholders that India is a secure destination for global sourcing, DSCI also promotes these best practices for domestic industry segments like Banking, Telecom and E- governance.

Harness data protection as a lever for economic development of India through global integration of practices and standards conforming to various legal regimes.

To create trustworthiness of Indian companies as global sourcing service providers, and to assure clients worldwide that India is a secure destination for outsourcing where privacy and protection of customer data are enshrined in the global best practices followed by the industry.
