DPDP

Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India)

Prepare for India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act before enforcement rules take full effect.

The DPDP Act is India's domestic data protection law, governing consent, data fiduciary obligations, and breach notification for any entity processing personal data of Indian residents. CyberCure runs a readiness assessment against the Act's consent framework, data fiduciary/processor obligations, and Significant Data Fiduciary requirements where applicable, so you're not scrambling once enforcement rules are notified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the DPDP Act already enforceable?

The Act has been passed, with rules and enforcement timelines being notified in phases. We build your readiness now so you're ahead of enforcement rather than reacting to it.

What is a Significant Data Fiduciary and does it apply to us?

It's a classification the government assigns to entities processing data at a scale or sensitivity that warrants extra obligations, like DPIAs and data protection officers. We assess whether your processing volume and data categories are likely to trigger this classification.

Can DPDP and ISO 27001 compliance be done together?

Yes — many of the technical controls overlap. We typically run DPDP and ISO 27001 readiness in parallel to avoid duplicated evidence-gathering effort.
