Every claim linked back to a Section, Rule, notification or court judgement. Written for people who actually implement compliance in India — not consultants selling frameworks. Verifiable certificate · LinkedIn-shareable · one-time price · never a subscription.
authored by practitioners who file, defend + audit · not exam-prep coachesEvery course on dcomply Academy is authored by practitioners who file, defend and audit compliance in India for a living — not by exam-prep coaches. Lessons cite the exact statutory Section, Rule or notification the obligation flows from. When the law changes, the lesson is updated and existing learners get the delta free.

Every lesson carries a legal-basis version tag. When the statute, Rule, or the Supreme Court moves, the lesson moves too. Content-staleness is audited, not assumed.
Never a subscription. Never a re-enrollment fee. Pay once, keep the material and the certificate for life. Free courses are genuinely free, no card, no upsell.
We remember where you left off. Open any email from the Academy and you are logged back in. Sessions last 90 days. Read from any device.
Spot something wrong? Reply to any Academy email. It reaches the author. We would rather rewrite one lesson than ship a certification programme with errors.
Start with the DPDP Act 2023 course if your role touches personal data at any level. If you run HR or sit on an Internal Committee, POSH Practitioner is directly job-relevant. If you handle payroll, IR, or factories, Labour Codes 2020 is the current playbook. For BFSI: RBI Cybersecurity (banks/NBFCs) or SEBI CSCRF (brokers, AMCs, exchanges). For listed companies: SEBI LODR + PIT plus ESG + BRSR. For SaaS founders selling internationally: SOC 2 Readiness (US customers) or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer (Europe/UK/APAC/Middle East). For telcos, ISPs, OTT platforms, satcom, cloud: Telecommunications Act 2023.
Three tiers: entry (DPDP Act 2023), practitioner (POSH, Labour Codes, CERT-In, DPDP Rules 2025, GDPR, Companies Act), and finance / global (RBI, SEBI CSCRF, SEBI LODR + PIT, ESG + BRSR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, Telecom, Income-tax, POSH Lead). The 90-day DPDP Implementation Practitioner sits above all of these. The first lesson of every course is free with no payment. Current certification pricing is on each course page on academy.dcomply.in — prices are refreshed from time to time, so the course page is always the source of truth.
No. The certificate is permanent. It carries a public verify URL that stays live indefinitely. If the underlying statute changes materially, we release a new course version and let existing learners take the delta at no extra cost.
No live cohort. Every course is self-paced text plus worked examples. That is deliberate. A live cohort adds ₹20 to 40k to the price and does not make you a better practitioner. If you have a specific question, reply to any Academy email and the author will answer.
Yes. Every paid enrollment triggers a Razorpay-issued tax invoice. Add GSTIN at checkout for full credit. The invoice is emailed within an hour of payment.
For 5+ seats on the same course, email [email protected]. Bulk pricing is applied at the seat level, not through discount codes, so procurement gets a clean invoice.
Every course has a final exam of 40 to 60 multiple-choice questions drawn from a larger question bank per module. Pass mark is 70 percent (75 percent on the two flagship courses). Unlimited retakes at no cost. Options and questions are shuffled per attempt so no two attempts are identical. Time limit ranges from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the course.
Three specific differences. First, coverage: courses are written to the current Indian statute — DPDP Rules 2025, Labour Codes Central Rules 2026, the 5 May 2026 SEBI AI Vulnerability Advisory, the 20 August 2026 Supreme Court ruling on IR Code section 2(p). Global platforms teach the framework in general; ICSI teaches the exam. We teach what your inspector will actually check next quarter. Second, verification: every claim carries the Section, Rule or paragraph number in the citation index. You can validate the source before you trust the lesson. Third, positioning: these are operational certifications for people who file, run committees, write policies and defend audits — not exam preparation for a role you do not hold yet.
Recognition in the compliance-professional context means two things. First, that the issuer is a real entity with a live regulatory footprint — dcomply is the training arm of Decipher Consultancy Services, an India-registered compliance and dpo-services firm whose SaaS platform is used by regulated entities. Second, that the credential can be verified independently — every certificate carries a public verify URL at academy.dcomply.in/verify that stays live indefinitely. LinkedIn accepts these certifications for the Licenses and Certifications section. HR teams can validate the certificate directly from the verify URL. These are not degree-equivalent qualifications; they are practitioner credentials, comparable to how an ISACA or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer credential works in the audit-and-compliance market.
Yes. Every certificate has a public verify URL and a LinkedIn share button. On completion, the share button pre-fills the LinkedIn Licenses and Certifications form with the issuer, certificate ID, verify URL and issue date. On your CV, list it under Certifications with the issuer as "dcomply Academy (Decipher Consultancy Services)" and paste the verify URL as the credential URL. Recruiters and hiring managers can verify authenticity from a single click.
