Overview

Privacy leadership that meets the law.

Privacy law now expects accountable leadership. India’s DPDPA requires Significant Data Fiduciaries to appoint a Data Protection Officer, and good practice points the same way for many others.

We provide an experienced DPO to own your privacy programme — governance, data mapping, impact assessments, breach response and data-subject requests — embedded for as long as you need.

You meet the requirement and raise your privacy maturity at the same time.

FAQ

Common questions

What is DPO-as-a-service?

It is an experienced data protection officer provided on an embedded basis to run your privacy programme and meet your obligations under the DPDPA, the GDPR and other privacy laws. You get the expertise and independence of a dedicated DPO without the cost and difficulty of recruiting one permanently.

Does India’s DPDPA require a DPO?

Organisations classified as Significant Data Fiduciaries are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer, and many other organisations appoint one as good practice and to build trust. We help you determine whether the requirement applies to you and provide the DPO to meet it.

What do they handle?

Our DPO runs the day-to-day of your privacy programme — privacy governance, data mapping and records of processing, data protection impact assessments, breach response, data-subject request handling and staff awareness. They act as your central point of accountability for personal data.
