Why leadership should act
Data privacy is a business responsibility, not just an IT checklist.
DPDP readiness spans how your teams collect, use, secure, share and delete personal data.
Regulatory exposure
Understand which obligations may apply, who owns them, and where missing processes could introduce avoidable risk.
Operational resilience
Review customer, employee and vendor data across CRMs, ERPs, cloud applications and outsourced systems.
Customer trust
Build dependable processes for clear notices, appropriate consent, individual requests and breach response.
Preparation starts before the deadline.
The Act and Rules have phased commencement dates. The applicable date and duties depend on the relevant provisions and your organisation.

Frequently asked
Common questions, clear answers
Does the DPDP framework apply only to large companies?
No. Applicability is not based solely on company size. It depends on factors such as whether and how the organisation processes digital personal data, plus any applicable exceptions.
Is every processing activity based on consent?
No. The DPDP framework recognises consent and specified legitimate uses. Appropriate legal review is required to establish the applicable basis.
Are all DPDP obligations already in force?
No. Commencement is phased under government notifications. Check the specific provision and applicable effective date before drawing conclusions.
Will the self-check certify that my business is compliant?
No. The result reflects your self-reported controls and suggests areas for deeper review. It is not a compliance audit, legal opinion or certification.
Do I need to enter confidential personal or customer data?
No. Please do not enter names, customer records, passwords or any personal datasets. The assessment asks only high-level questions about your organisational processes.
