Engagement profiles where we add the most value.
The DPDP Act applies to any processing of digital personal data within India, and to processing outside India if it relates to offering goods or services to Data Principals in India. Most Indian-incorporated companies and many foreign companies serving Indian users are in scope.
The Act provides for financial penalties up to ₹250 crore per instance of certain failures, including failure to take reasonable security safeguards and failure to notify breaches. Penalties are imposed by the Data Protection Board of India after inquiry.
An SDF is a Data Fiduciary notified by the Central Government based on factors like the volume and sensitivity of personal data processed, risk to data principals, and impact on sovereignty. SDFs have additional obligations including a DPO, independent data audits and DPIAs.
Consent is the primary basis under the DPDP Act, but the Act also recognises 'legitimate uses' such as employment, compliance with law, medical emergencies and certain public-interest purposes. We help you map each activity to the correct lawful basis.
A focused readiness sprint can be completed in 4–8 weeks for a mid-sized SME. Full implementation with technical controls, training and assurance typically runs 3–6 months depending on the complexity of your data landscape.
