The gStride DPDP Workplace Compliance certification is a free, self-paced credential covering India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 as it applies to monitoring employees. It has five modules — employer obligations, lawful basis and consent, employee data-principal rights, cross-border transfer and retention, and Significant Data Fiduciary duties — followed by a ten-question assessment. Score 80% or higher and you receive a certificate in your name with a credential ID and a public verification link you can add to the Licenses and Certifications section of your LinkedIn profile. It is an educational certificate, not a legal qualification; DPDP obligations are fact-specific, so verify with counsel before acting.

Questions

Is it really free?

What does the certificate actually prove?
