DPDP Act Security Implementation
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025 require data fiduciaries to take reasonable security safeguards, with penalties of up to ₹250 crore for failures. Most substantive obligations apply from May 2027. We implement the security side: encryption, access control, logging, breach detection and notification readiness.
What the engagement includes
Data mapping
Where personal data is collected, stored, processed and shared.
Security safeguards
Encryption, masking, access control and monitoring for personal data.
Logging and retention
Access logs retained to support detection and investigation.
Processor controls
Security clauses and assessments for vendors handling personal data.
Breach readiness
Detection, intimation to affected individuals and reporting to the Data Protection Board.
How the engagement runs
Scope
A short discovery call and written scope, so effort, deliverables and price are clear before work starts.
Deliver
Named consultants and engineers deliver against the plan with weekly progress updates.
Validate
Every deliverable is tested and reviewed with you, with evidence you can show auditors.
Improve
Recommendations, handover and options for ongoing support so gains are kept.
Questions we're often asked
Is this legal advice?
No. We handle the technical and organisational security controls and work alongside your legal team, who advise on applicability, notices and consent.
When do the obligations start?
The Rules were notified in November 2025 with a phased timeline. Most data-fiduciary obligations, including security safeguards and breach notification, apply from 13 May 2027.
Can services be bought without hardware?
Yes. Our consulting, deployment and managed services are vendor-neutral and work with technology you already own.
How is pricing structured?
Fixed-fee for scoped projects, and monthly or annual fees for managed services and AMC. You get a written scope before any commitment.
