The Problem
Compliance is more than a privacy policy.
Most Indian companies mistake documentation for protection. The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act requires operational shifts across product, vendors, and HR to avoid real, substantial regulatory risk.
Policy ≠ Protection
A privacy policy PDF doesn't satisfy Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. The Act requires consent capture systems, data principal request workflows, breach notification procedures, and demonstrable security controls.
Vendor Liability
Your business remains liable for how third-party SaaS vendors handle Indian user data. Most existing contracts lack Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act-compliant processor obligations and breach assistance clauses.
Employee Data Gaps
Internal HR data falls squarely under Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. Without a documented framework, you face data misuse exposure, employee complaints, and penalty risk during enforcement reviews.
What We Do
Implementation-first compliance services.
Built on international standards. Tailored for Indian SMEs, startups, and CA firms supporting clients on DPDP Act readiness.

FAQ
Common questions before we talk.
Does the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act apply to my SME?+
If you process the personal data of any individual in India, the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act applies — regardless of company size. Smaller businesses get some procedural relief, but core obligations like lawful basis, security, breach notification, and data principal rights apply to every data fiduciary.
We already have a privacy policy. Isn't that enough?+
A privacy policy is a tiny part of Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act compliance. The Act is operational: it requires consent capture and withdrawal systems, data principal request workflows, breach response procedures, vendor governance, and demonstrable security practices. A policy without these underlying systems is not defensible.
How long does a full Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act implementation take?+
For a typical 50–250 employee SME, expect 8–14 weeks for the core readiness baseline (assessment, data map, consent framework, key vendor DPAs, employee SOPs). Ongoing maintenance then continues quarterly. Larger or multi-product organizations take longer; we scope honestly during the discovery call.
Do we need a full-time Data Protection Officer?+
Most SMEs and Series A–C startups don't need a full-time DPO yet. A fractional Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act Officer on retainer typically gives you the same defensibility at 10–20% of the cost. We'll tell you honestly if your scale or sector requires a full-time hire.
How is your work different from a law firm's privacy advice?+
Law firms tell you what the obligations are. We tell you that — and then sit with your team to actually build the consent flow, rewrite the vendor contract, draft the SOP, and train the people. Implementation, not just opinion.
Do you work with companies outside India?+
Yes. We frequently work with Indian subsidiaries of international companies and with Indian SaaS/fintech companies serving overseas customers. The founder's GDPR background makes cross-border data flow and dual-regime compliance a core strength.
