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

The specific clauses a processor relationship actually needs

Language covering obligations, safeguards, audit rights and breach flow-down — drafted as annexures ready to attach, not a general contract rewrite.

Processor obligation clauses

The specific contractual language binding a vendor to process data only on your instructions.

Rule 6 security safeguards, made contractual

Language that binds the vendor to Rule 6's security safeguards as a contractual obligation, not just an internal expectation on your side.

Right to audit

A clause giving you the actual contractual right to verify the vendor's practices directly, not just their word for it.

Right to be informed of breaches

Contractual language obligating the vendor to notify you of a breach, distinct from the timeline itself.

Sub-processor disclosure & written approval

A clause requiring the vendor to disclose every sub-processor it uses, and to get your written approval before adding a new one — not just "visibility" after the fact.

Breach notification flow-down clauses

Contractual timelines that let a vendor's notification reach you fast enough to meet your own Section 8(6) obligations.

Data return & deletion clauses

What happens to data at contract termination, made explicit rather than assumed.

Jurisdiction-specific annexures

Additional language where a vendor relationship involves cross-border data movement.

What you get

Annexures ready to attach, and a brief for the pushback

Execution-ready language per vendor relationship, plus the reasoning your team needs when a vendor pushes back.

  • Drafted annexures ready to attach to existing vendor agreements
  • Clause-by-clause language covering processor obligations, Rule 6 safeguards, audit rights, breach notification, and sub-processor approval
  • A negotiation brief for clauses a vendor is likely to push back on
  • A final, execution-ready annexure set per vendor relationship covered
Process

Four stages, click any to see more

Gap review first, then drafting, then negotiation support — so language your team uses with a vendor has already been reasoned through.

01

Agreement & gap review

Identify which existing agreements need DPDP-specific annexures.

Often follows on directly from a Vendor Agreement Review's findings, but works the same way for an agreement reviewed independently.

02

Clause drafting

Draft the specific annexure language needed to close each gap.

Covers processor obligations, Rule 6 safeguards, audit rights, breach notification and sub-processor approval, clause by clause.

03

Vendor-facing negotiation support

Provide language and reasoning your team can use directly with the vendor.

Includes the negotiation brief for clauses a vendor is likely to push back on, so your team isn't reasoning from scratch mid-negotiation.

04

Finalisation

Deliver the finished, execution-ready annexures.

A final annexure set per vendor relationship covered, ready to attach and sign.
