What Is a DPP?

DPP stands for Data Privacy Program (DPP). It is a formal document outlining how an organization collects, processes, stores and protects personal and sensitive data to ensure compliance with privacy laws like GDPR, CCPA, or HIPAA.

A DPP typically covers:

  • Data classification and handling;
  • Access controls;
  • Data retention and disposal;
  • Breach notification; and
  • Roles and responsibilities.

Implementing a DPP is critical to safeguarding privacy, maintaining customer trust and avoiding legal penalties.
