The Privacy Shift

Consent Is Now A Technical Metric

Prior to the DPDPA, Indian organizations collected data indiscriminately. Now, every byte of personal data must be tied to an explicit, verifiable consent artifact, or a very specific legitimate use. If you cannot prove consent, you cannot process the data.

Compliance requires rewiring your customer onboarding, HR processes, and data retention architectures. We combine legal understanding with deep privacy engineering to ensure your data supply chains fulfill Data Principal rights seamlessly.

The DPDPA introduces severe non-compliance penalties, reaching up to ₹250 Crores per instance for failing to prevent a personal data breach.
Unlike European frameworks, the DPDPA focuses heavily on the 'Notice and Consent' mechanism, requiring profound changes to how Indian companies build user interfaces.
Data Fiduciaries are held strictly liable for the actions of their Data Processors (vendors), necessitating immediate overhauls of existing third-party contracts.

Avoid Fines

Mitigate the catastrophic risk of ₹250Cr penalties.

Build Trust

Demonstrate respect for user privacy as a competitive differentiator.

Data Minimization

Reduce infrastructure costs by purging unnecessary 'dark data'.

Vendor Accountability

Ensure your SaaS providers aren't putting your company at risk.

Our Process

Accelerated Readiness Lifecycle

A structured engineering-led approach to DPDPA compliance.

01

Applicability & Scope

Determining if you classify as a Data Fiduciary or Significant Data Fiduciary, and scoping the digital personal data you process within or outside India.

02

Consent Architecture Review

Analyzing how you obtain, record, and manage consent. We design verifiable mechanisms that offer clear withdrawal options in multiple languages.

03

Data Lifecycle Security

Deploying 'reasonable security safeguards' to prevent breaches, focusing on encryption, tokenization, and strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

04

Vendor (Processor) Risk

Auditing your Data Processors to ensure they meet DPDPA standards, and assisting legal teams in drafting mandatory data processing addendums.

05

Incident Response Alignment

Structuring your incident response runbooks to ensure you can notify the Data Protection Board (DPB) and affected individuals within the mandated timelines.

Coverage

Core Act Imperatives

Addressing the stringent requirements set forth by the Data Protection Board.

Consent Management

Architecting verifiable, unbundled, and easily withdrawable consent flows across web and mobile apps.

Data Principal Rights

Building the internal workflows to fulfill requests for data access, correction, and erasure within stipulated timelines.

Security Safeguards

Implementing technical controls to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or alteration of personal data.

Breach Notification

Establishing triage and reporting pipelines tailored for the Data Protection Board of India.

Child Data Protection

Designing age-gating and verifiable parental consent mechanisms for services likely to be accessed by children.

Cross-Border Transfer

Evaluating data localization strategies and transfer mechanisms against current government blacklists.

Why Adayptus
