Engagement profiles where we add the most value.
A DPO is mandatory for Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs) — a class of Data Fiduciaries to be notified by the Central Government. Many organisations appoint a DPO voluntarily to demonstrate privacy maturity to customers and regulators.
Yes. Both the DPDP Act framework and GDPR allow the DPO function to be performed by an external service provider, provided independence and accessibility requirements are met. Our DPO-as-a-service is designed precisely for this.
Under the DPDP Act every Data Fiduciary must publish a Grievance Officer to handle data principal complaints. Only SDFs must appoint an independent DPO. The DPO oversees the whole privacy program; the Grievance Officer is a contact channel.
Most mid-sized clients use 20–60 hours of DPO time per month. Highly regulated or high-volume processors may need a dedicated DPO. We right-size the engagement after the initial discovery.
