DPDP Advisory & Compliance

DPDP compliance.
From assessment to implementation.

Understand your personal data, identify compliance gaps and implement practical privacy, governance and security controls aligned with India's Digital Personal Data Protection framework.

India's Data Protection Framework

DPDP changes how organisations handle personal data.

The Digital Personal Data Protection framework establishes responsibilities for organisations that collect, use, store, share or otherwise process digital personal data.

Compliance is not limited to publishing a privacy policy. Organisations need visibility into personal data, clearly defined purposes for processing, appropriate consent and notices, processes for Data Principal rights, controls over vendors and processors, security safeguards, incident readiness and demonstrable governance. Staple IT helps organisations translate these requirements into practical operational and technical controls.

What DPDP readiness actually requires.

Know your data. Define why you need it. Protect it. Respect individual rights. Be able to demonstrate what you have implemented.

01

Data Visibility

Understand what personal data is collected, where it resides, how it moves and who has access.

02

Purpose & Consent

Define processing purposes and establish appropriate consent, notice and withdrawal mechanisms.

03

Data Principal Rights

Create structured processes for applicable access, correction, erasure and grievance requests.

04

Security Safeguards

Apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data.

05

Third-Party Governance

Understand how vendors and processors receive, process, store and protect personal data.

06

Accountability

Maintain policies, records, evidence, responsibilities and periodic compliance reviews.

Privacy Notices

Review how individuals are informed about personal data processing.

Consent Management

Evaluate consent capture, records, withdrawal and related processes.

Data Principal Rights

Establish processes for applicable rights and requests.

Data Retention

Incident & Breach Readiness

Establish escalation, response, investigation and notification processes.

Governance

Data Discovery

Personal data is everywhere.

DPDP implementation starts by understanding where personal data exists across the organisation.

HR

Employee records, onboarding information, payroll and identity documents.

Finance

Banking information, payment records and financial documentation.

Sales & Marketing

Customer information, enquiries, communications and marketing data.

IT

User accounts, authentication information, system logs and device information.

Websites & Applications

Registration information, contact forms, cookies and digital interactions.

Vendors

Personal data shared with service providers, processors and business partners.

Privacy needs governance and security.
