What is the ORCHA India Data Protection Mark (OIDPM)?

The ORCHA India Data Protection Mark (OIDPM) is a collaborative initiative between ORCHA and Alpha MD, created to set new standards for data privacy and protection in India’s fast-growing digital health ecosystem.

This game-changing framework assesses digital health products against the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP 2023) and global best practices, giving innovators, healthcare systems, and users a trusted quality mark for data integrity and security.

Enable safe, secure, and compliant digital health innovation across India while helping suppliers build credibility at home and readiness for global markets.

Why the OIDPM matters

India’s digital health transformation is accelerating, driven by the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and growing demand for trusted health technologies.
As millions of citizens and professionals adopt digital tools, confidence in data protection has never been more critical.

  • Prove compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.

  • Demonstrate independent validation through an ORCHA-Alpha MD certified badge.

  • Build trust with partners, regulators, and patients.

  • Prepare for global compliance through internationally aligned assessment criteria.

 

Core purpose:

The OIDPM sets a new benchmark for data protection assurance in India, enabling safe digital adoption and empowering innovators to support 1.4 billion people
