DPDP Rules 2025 notified — enforceable 13 May 2027.|Time left: –d –h –m –s
What it covers

Eight areas, tested against evidence — not assumed from your policy documents

The assessment walks through every area where a real DPDPA gap tends to hide, cross-checked against what your systems and contracts actually do.

Notices & consent artefacts

Whether notices and consent capture are itemised by purpose, or one static policy page standing in for both.

Records of processing (RoPA)

Whether a real record of what data you hold, where it flows, and why, exists anywhere your team can point to.

Security safeguards

Technical and organisational safeguards mapped against Section 8(5) and Rule 6 — not a generic security checklist.

Breach response readiness

Whether your incident plan would actually meet the Section 8(6) notification timelines and content requirements.

Vendor & Data Processor contracts

Whether existing agreements actually cover what the Act requires from parties processing data on your behalf.

Children's data (Section 9)

Where your processing touches a child's data, whether the additional consent and verification obligations are met.

Cross-border transfer practices

How personal data leaving India is currently handled, checked against the Act's cross-border transfer provisions.

Grievance & rights-request handling

Whether Data Principal requests — access, correction, erasure — have an actual operational path today.

What you get

Deliverables built to be used, not filed

Every finding traces back to what was actually reviewed — no unexplained scores, no vague "needs improvement" lines.

  • A findings report scored by exposure and remediation effort, not a generic "compliant / non-compliant" checklist
  • A prioritised remediation roadmap — what to fix first, and why
  • An executive summary written for leadership sign-off, separate from the detailed findings
  • An evidence log that traces every finding back to what was actually reviewed
Process

Four stages, start to debrief

No fixed duration is quoted here — scope depends on how many systems and business units are involved.

01

Discovery & scoping

Confirm which systems, data flows and business units are in scope, and gather the documentation that already exists.

02

Evidence review & testing

Review policies, contracts and system configurations directly, rather than taking existing documentation's word for it.

03

Findings & scoring

Every gap is recorded against the specific Act or Rules provision it relates to, and scored for exposure and effort to fix.

04

Debrief & roadmap

A walkthrough of the findings with your team, and a sequenced roadmap for what to address first.
