Does it apply to you?

If you process personal data of individuals in India, it likely applies

The DPDP Act applies to organisations processing digital personal data of individuals in India. Customer records, employee data, student records, patient details, lead lists, enquiry forms, app users, CCTV-linked identifiers — if it identifies a person, it is in scope.

Lower regulatory risk and stronger customer trust are the direct benefits. Compliance also makes day-to-day data handling clearer: everyone in your team knows what may be collected, why, for how long and who can access it.

Plain language

What the Act asks of you

Know what personal data you hold and why. Tell people clearly what you will do with it. Get valid consent. Honour their rights. Keep the data secure. Respond when something goes wrong. Hold your vendors to the same standard.

We track the current rules and timelines as they are notified and update your programme accordingly.
What our service covers

Eight areas of DPDP readiness

Each area produces documents and processes your team can actually run — not a report that sits in a drawer.

Data discovery and mapping

What personal data you collect, why, where it is stored, who can access it and how long you keep it.

Notice and consent

Clear notices and valid, withdrawable consent — including special care for children's data.

Data principal rights

Processes for access, correction, erasure and grievance requests, with owners and response times.

Security safeguards

Access control, encryption, logging and testing — practical safeguards matched to your systems.

Breach response

Detection, assessment and notification procedures, so your team knows what to do in the first hour.

Vendor and processor management

Contracts and assessments for everyone who processes data for you — cloud, CRM, WhatsApp, telephony and more.

Retention and deletion

Schedules and automated deletion, so data is not kept longer than needed.

Governance

Roles, training and records — so privacy has an owner and evidence exists.

Consent, notices and rights

What good looks like for your customers

Notices written in plain language, telling people exactly what data is collected and why.
Consent that is free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous — and as easy to withdraw as it was to give.
Special care for children's data, including verifiable parental consent where required.
Working processes for access, correction, erasure and grievance requests, tracked to closure.
Grievance contact published and monitored, with response times your team can keep.

Protection that auditors can verify

How we deliver

From mapping to running programme

01

Discovery and data mapping

We interview your team and systems owners, and build the map: what personal data you collect, why, where it lives, who can access it and how long it is kept.

02

Gap review

We review consent notices, forms, apps, contracts and vendor arrangements against the obligations, and deliver a prioritised action list.

03

Fix and build

Rewritten notices and consent flows, rights-request processes, breach response plan, vendor contract updates, retention schedules — drafted and tailored to how you actually operate.

04

Train and hand over

Your team learns to run the programme: handling requests, applying retention, escalating incidents. Records and evidence are organised for future review.

05

Keep current

We track notified rules and timelines, and update your programme as requirements land.

Who benefits most

Any organisation holding personal data of people in India

Hospitals and clinics

Patient data is sensitive health data; consent and access control are non-negotiable.

Schools and colleges

Student data — much of it children's data — needs verifiable parental consent and careful retention.

E-commerce and marketplaces

Customer records, addresses, payment references and marketing lists all fall in scope.

SaaS and IT companies

Enterprise customers now ask about your privacy posture during vendor onboarding.

Fintech and insurance

KYC documents, financial records and partner data-sharing require disciplined governance.

Startups scaling up

Getting notices, consent and retention right early is far cheaper than fixing them later.

FAQs

DPDP Act questions, answered

It is India's data protection law. If you process personal data of individuals in India, it likely applies.

Data mapping, consent management, privacy notices, data-principal rights processes, breach response, vendor management, retention and deletion schedules, and governance.

ISO 27001 is about managing information security as a system. The DPDP Act is about how personal data is handled — consent, rights, retention, breach duties. Many safeguards overlap, and we run combined programmes when it saves time.

The Act gives special care to children's data, including verifiable parental consent. Schools, apps and services used by minors should review this first.

It depends on how much data you hold and how systems are arranged. After a short scoping call we give you a fixed-scope plan and timeline.

Yes. Because we build software as well as advise, consent flows, retention jobs, access controls and logging can be implemented by the same team — including in our hospital, school and e-commerce platforms.

We review and update contracts and run assessments for the processors you rely on — cloud, CRM, WhatsApp providers, telephony and others.

We track the current rules and timelines as they are notified and update your programme accordingly.
