Overview

Practical DPDPA compliance, embedded in your team.

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 places real, enforceable obligations on any organisation that handles the personal data of individuals in India — with significant penalties for getting it wrong. Meeting it takes focused, specialised effort that’s hard to resource internally.

We embed experienced data-protection consultants who do the work: mapping your data, designing notices and consent, standing up data principal rights, and building the governance a Data Fiduciary — or a Significant Data Fiduciary — needs.

You get a compliant, defensible programme without hiring a permanent privacy team.

FAQ

Common questions

What is DPDPA consulting?

Hands-on advisory and implementation support to make your organisation compliant with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — provided by an embedded consultant who does the work alongside your team.

Who must comply with the DPDPA?

Broadly, any organisation that processes the digital personal data of individuals in India, whether collected online or digitised later. Additional duties apply to those classified as Significant Data Fiduciaries.

How is this different from your DPO service?

DPDPA consulting builds and runs the compliance programme; our DPO-as-a-service provides the named officer. Many organisations use both — a consultant to implement, and a DPO to hold the role.
