It gives us immense pleasure to bring out this collection of success stories that will indeed be an inspiration and motivation to young women aspiring to carve a niche for themselves in the field of cybersecurity and data privacy. During the pandemic, with support from all our training partners, we were able to quickly pivot and smoothly transition to a fully online mode, which also broadened the access to this training program to young women from tier-III/tier-IV cities.

Our 'Women on Break' privacy program was a first-of-its-kind initiative where young women professionals from different fi elds received in-depth training in Privacy and certified in DSCI Certified Privacy Professional (DCPP). Many of them, some even after a nine-year break, were able to secure placement in large corporations and resume their professional careers in a new domain. More than 100 women professionals on career break have got trained in Data Privacy, giving them opportunities to re-enter the workforce in the realm of Data Protection and Data Privacy
