DPDP Act 2023 — Compliance Advisor

← Hub DPDP Act 2023
WHY

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023 is now law. Every organization processing personal data of Indian citizens must comply — with penalties up to ₹250 crore for violations. The act covers consent management, data principal rights, cross-border data transfer restrictions, and breach notification requirements.

WHAT

DPDP compliance requires consent management platforms, data discovery and classification, privacy impact assessments, data principal rights management (access, correction, erasure), breach notification workflows, and Data Protection Officer (DPO) appointment for significant data fiduciaries. Key criteria: India-specific template support, consent tracking, and automated compliance reporting.

HOW

We conduct DPDP gap assessments, map your data processing activities, implement consent management workflows, and establish breach notification procedures. We help appoint DPOs and build privacy-by-design into your systems. Typical advisory: ₹8-35 lakh depending on data processing complexity.
