This report presents findings from a structured survey of 100 senior technology, security, legal, and risk professionals across India’s leading private and public enterprises. Conducted between April and May 2026, the survey examined six critical dimensions of corporate DFIR: regulatory compliance under the DPDP Act, legal admissibility under BSA 2023, investigative visibility gaps, forensic response velocity, geographic collection challenges, and the 12-month strategic agenda.

Respondents include CISOs, CTOs, Chief Risk Officers, Data Protection Officers, General Counsels, and senior security architects, making this one of the most seniority-weighted DFIR datasets collected in India to date, spanning Banking & Financial Services, IT/ITeS, Manufacturing, Energy, FMCG, E-commerce, and Public Sector Undertakings.
