Building on a decade-long legacy of excellence in digital risk management, CICRA Holdings and Daily FT proudly announce Sri Lanka’s first Data Privacy and Protection Summit 2025, with ORIN joining as the Gold Partner.

The landmark event will be held on 3 July at King’s Court, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, marking a significant expansion of thought leadership in Sri Lanka’s digital security landscape.

For over 10 years, the organisers have successfully delivered Sri Lanka’s premier Annual Cyber Security Summit, establishing themselves as trusted authorities in digital risk management. This new Summit represents a strategic evolution of that expertise, addressing the critical need for data protection awareness as Sri Lanka implements its Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

The PDPA introduces transformative requirements for businesses, including mandatory Data Protection Officers (DPOs), comprehensive data governance frameworks, and strict breach reporting protocols. Many organisations remain unprepared for these changes.

CICRA Holdings Group Director/CEO Boshan Dayaratne said: “With the PDPA coming into effect, organisations must act swiftly to avoid penalties and build consumer trust. This Summit will provide a clear roadmap for compliance, from identifying the right DPO to implementing best practices in data security. We have assembled an exceptional line-up of global experts, regulators, and industry leaders to share actionable insights.”

The Summit arrives at a pivotal moment as Sri Lanka prepares to implement the PDPA, which will introduce stringent compliance requirements for businesses. The full-day conference aims to equip organisations with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the new regulatory landscape effectively.

ORIN Corporation Ltd., Chief Operating Officer Rehan Ariyaratne said: “We are honoured to support Sri Lanka’s first Data Privacy and Protection Summit as Gold Partner. As a company deeply rooted in cyber security, we see this Summit as a timely and necessary platform to elevate awareness and readiness among businesses. With the PDPA on the horizon, we believe collaboration, education, and strategic action are key to securing Sri Lanka’s digital future. ORIN remains committed to empowering progress and ensuring safety for all stakeholders in the ecosystem.”
