The Challenge

DPDP Compliance Challenges

The DPDP Act makes privacy an operational job. A Data Fiduciary has to give notice when it asks for consent, take consent purpose by purpose, get verifiable consent from a parent before processing a child's data, answer Data Principal requests, erase personal data once its purpose is served, and report breaches to the Data Protection Board and to the people affected, while being able to prove that notice was given and consent obtained.

Most teams start with spreadsheets and email. Each duty gets its own tracker, the trackers drift apart, and the DPO spends more time reconciling them than managing risk.

One duty, one spreadsheet

Notices, consent logs, request trackers and breach notes live in separate files that fall out of step as soon as a process changes.

No map of personal data

Personal data sits in databases, SaaS apps, shared folders and on laptops, with no map of where all of it is.

Children's data without a parent check

Sign-up flows cannot confirm that the person consenting for a child is an adult.

Notices few can read

A notice in English alone does not reach every Data Principal, and translating each revision by hand is slow.
