DPDPA Compliance Services
Navigate India's Data Protection Landscape
India's digital economy is booming, with over 850 million internet users and rapid adoption of digital services across sectors. In this environment, protecting personal data has become both a regulatory imperative and a business necessity. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) represents India's comprehensive framework for regulating the processing of digital personal data, establishing rights for individuals and obligations for organizations. Enacted by the Indian Parliament in August 2023 and receiving Presidential assent, DPDPA introduces significant requirements for any organization processing personal data of individuals in India. With penalties reaching up to ₹250 crore (approximately $30 million USD) for serious violations, DPDPA compliance is essential for organizations operating in India's digital marketplace. At Glocert International, we provide expert DPDPA compliance services to help organizations navigate India's data protection requirements. Whether you're a domestic Indian company or a global organization serving Indian users, our experienced team guides you through gap assessments, data mapping, privacy policy development, consent management implementation, and ongoing compliance support. Partner with Glocert International to achieve DPDPA compliance, enhance your privacy posture, build trust with Indian customers, and position your organization for success in India's rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
What is DPDPA?
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) is India's landmark data protection legislation that regulates the processing of digital personal data within the territory of India. The Act was passed by the Indian Parliament in August 2023 and received Presidential assent, marking a significant milestone in India's journey toward comprehensive data protection regulation.
DPDPA establishes a balanced framework recognizing the right of individuals to protect their personal data while acknowledging the need to process such data for lawful purposes. The Act applies to processing of digital personal data within India where the data is collected online or offline and subsequently digitized, and to processing outside India if it is in connection with offering goods or services to data principals (individuals) in India.
Key Features of DPDPA
DPDPA introduces several distinctive features to India's data protection landscape:
- Principle-Based Approach: Focus on outcomes and principles rather than prescriptive requirements
- Consent-Centric Model: Emphasis on obtaining valid consent for personal data processing
- Digital Focus: Specific to digital personal data, including offline data that is digitized
- Data Principal Rights: Comprehensive rights for individuals over their personal data
- Simplified Framework: Streamlined compared to global counterparts like GDPR
- Data Protection Board: Establishment of regulatory authority to oversee compliance
- Exemptions: Specific exemptions for government, research, and certain personal/domestic uses
Who Must Comply with DPDPA?
DPDPA applies broadly to organizations processing personal data of individuals in India:
- Data Fiduciaries: Organizations that determine the purpose and means of processing personal data (similar to "controllers" in GDPR terminology)
- Significant Data Fiduciaries: Large-scale processors or those handling sensitive data, subject to additional obligations
- Data Processors: Organizations processing personal data on behalf of data fiduciaries
- Domestic Organizations: Indian companies and entities processing personal data
- Foreign Organizations: Companies outside India offering goods or services to individuals in India
Notably, DPDPA has extraterritorial application—organizations located outside India must comply if they process personal data of individuals in India in connection with offering goods or services. This means global companies serving Indian customers through digital channels must implement DPDPA compliance measures.
DPDPA Timeline and Implementation
Key dates for DPDPA:
- August 11, 2023: DPDPA enacted by Indian Parliament and received Presidential assent
- Effective Date: To be notified by the Central Government (provisions will come into force on dates to be specified)
- Rules Development: Government developing detailed rules to operationalize various DPDPA provisions
- Data Protection Board: Establishment of regulatory authority anticipated
Organizations should begin DPDPA compliance efforts proactively, as the effective date and detailed rules are expected to be announced in 2024, with enforcement to follow. Building compliant data protection practices now provides advantage and avoids last-minute implementation challenges.
Why DPDPA Compliance Matters
DPDPA compliance is essential for organizations operating in India's digital economy:
1. Avoid Significant Financial Penalties
DPDPA establishes substantial penalties for non-compliance:
- Data Breach Failures: Up to ₹250 crore for failure to implement reasonable security safeguards and breach notification
- Rights Violations: Up to ₹200 crore for failure to honor data principal rights or omission to take reasonable safeguards
- Consent Violations: Up to ₹200 crore for processing personal data without valid consent
- Children's Data: Up to ₹200 crore for violations involving children's personal data
- Multiple Violations: Penalties can be levied for each contravention
The Data Protection Board of India will have authority to impose these penalties, investigate violations, and issue compliance directions. With penalties reaching ₹250 crore (approximately $30 million USD), DPDPA represents significant financial risk for non-compliant organizations.
2. Market Access in India
India represents one of the world's largest and fastest-growing digital markets. DPDPA compliance will increasingly become a prerequisite for operating in India including serving Indian customers through digital channels, processing data of Indian users, partnering with Indian organizations requiring vendor compliance, and participating in India's digital economy initiatives. Non-compliance could result in restrictions on data processing activities, inability to serve Indian market effectively, exclusion from business partnerships, and reputational damage affecting market position. DPDPA compliance is essential for maintaining and expanding presence in India.
3. Customer Trust and Brand Reputation
Indian consumers are increasingly privacy-conscious and concerned about data misuse. DPDPA compliance demonstrates commitment to protecting customer personal data, respect for individual privacy rights, transparency in data processing practices, and alignment with India's regulatory framework. Organizations that proactively implement DPDPA requirements gain competitive advantage through enhanced customer trust, positive brand reputation, differentiation from non-compliant competitors, and customer loyalty in privacy-conscious markets. Privacy violations, conversely, result in immediate loss of trust, negative media coverage, social media backlash, and long-term reputational damage in India's connected market.
4. Operational Improvements
The DPDPA compliance process drives operational improvements including comprehensive data inventory and mapping, documented privacy policies and procedures, improved data governance and accountability, enhanced data security controls, consent management capabilities, individual rights management processes, incident response and breach notification procedures, and vendor data protection oversight. These improvements benefit the entire organization, creating a culture of privacy and responsible data handling that extends beyond regulatory compliance.
5. Alignment with Global Privacy Standards
DPDPA aligns with principles found in global privacy frameworks including GDPR (Europe), CCPA/CPRA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and PIPL (China). Organizations achieving DPDPA compliance build capabilities applicable to multiple jurisdictions including consent management, individual rights fulfillment, data security measures, privacy by design principles, and vendor management. This alignment enables efficient multi-jurisdictional compliance programs, reduces duplication of efforts across geographies, and supports global expansion strategies. Organizations serving both Indian and international markets benefit from integrated privacy compliance approaches.
6. Government and B2B Requirements
Indian government initiatives increasingly emphasize data protection and privacy. DPDPA compliance will be essential for participation in government digital programs, tendering for government contracts, serving public sector customers, and partnering with government agencies. Additionally, B2B customers in India will require vendors and partners to demonstrate DPDPA compliance, creating business continuity imperatives for organizations in supply chains and service provider relationships.

Key Principles of DPDPA
DPDPA establishes fundamental principles governing personal data processing:
1. Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency
Personal data must be processed lawfully for specified purposes with transparency. Data principals must be informed about data collection and processing through clear, plain language notices.
2. Purpose Limitation
Personal data must be processed only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. Processing for purposes incompatible with original purposes requires fresh consent or legal basis.
3. Data Minimization
Organizations should collect only personal data that is necessary for the specified purpose. Excessive or irrelevant data collection beyond what is needed should be avoided.
4. Data Accuracy
Reasonable efforts must be made to ensure personal data is accurate, complete, and updated. Inaccurate data must be corrected or erased upon request or discovery.
5. Storage Limitation
Personal data should not be retained longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Organizations must establish retention policies and deletion procedures.
6. Reasonable Security Safeguards
Data fiduciaries must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, processing, disclosure, loss, or damage. Security measures must be reasonable based on sensitivity and volume of data.
7. Accountability
Data fiduciaries are responsible for complying with DPDPA obligations and must be able to demonstrate compliance. This includes maintaining documentation, implementing governance structures, and ensuring processor compliance.
Data Principal Rights Under DPDPA
DPDPA grants individuals (data principals) specific rights over their personal data:
Right to Access and Obtain Information
Data principals can obtain information about personal data processed, including identity of data fiduciaries and processors with whom data is shared, descriptions of personal data being processed, and any other prescribed information. Organizations must provide this information in accessible format.
Right to Correction and Erasure
Data principals can request correction of inaccurate or misleading personal data, completion of incomplete personal data, and erasure of personal data (with exceptions for legal obligations and legitimate purposes). Organizations must respond promptly to correction and erasure requests.
Right to Grievance Redressal
Data principals have the right to have their grievances redressed by the data fiduciary. Organizations must establish grievance redressal mechanisms and respond to complaints within prescribed timeframes.
Right of Nomination
Data principals can nominate another individual to exercise their rights in the event of death or incapacity. This unique provision allows individuals to designate someone to manage their digital legacy and data rights.
Consent Withdrawal
Data principals can withdraw consent at any time as easily as it was given. Organizations must provide mechanisms for consent withdrawal and cease processing based on withdrawn consent (with exceptions for legal obligations).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Find answers to common questions about DPDPA compliance:
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) is India's comprehensive data protection law regulating processing of digital personal data. Enacted by Parliament in August 2023 with Presidential assent, DPDPA provisions will come into force on dates to be notified by the Central Government. While the effective date has not been announced, the government is developing detailed rules to operationalize DPDPA provisions, with implementation expected in 2024. Organizations should begin compliance efforts proactively to be ready when DPDPA comes into force. The Act applies to processing within India and to processing outside India connected with offering goods or services to individuals in India.
Yes, DPDPA has extraterritorial application. It applies to processing of digital personal data outside India if such processing is in connection with offering goods or services to data principals (individuals) in India. This means foreign organizations serving Indian customers through websites, mobile apps, online platforms, or digital services must comply with DPDPA. If your business offers products or services to people in India, processes personal data of Indian users, or targets the Indian market through digital channels, DPDPA likely applies. The law's reach is broad, affecting global technology companies, e-commerce platforms, social media networks, and any organization with Indian customers or users. Organizations should assess applicability based on their specific activities in India. Glocert International can help evaluate DPDPA applicability to your organization.
A Data Fiduciary is an entity that determines the purpose and means of processing personal data (similar to "data controller" under GDPR). Data fiduciaries decide why and how personal data is processed and bear primary responsibility for DPDPA compliance. Examples include companies collecting customer data for their own business purposes. A Data Processor processes personal data on behalf of a data fiduciary based on the fiduciary's instructions (similar to "processor" under GDPR). Processors act as service providers. Examples include cloud hosting providers, payroll service companies, and marketing platforms processing data for clients. Key differences: Data fiduciaries have direct obligations under DPDPA including obtaining consent, providing notices, enabling rights, maintaining security, and reporting breaches. Data processors must process only per fiduciary instructions, maintain security, assist fiduciaries, and execute written contracts. Organizations can be both fiduciary (for own data) and processor (for client data). Understanding your role determines compliance obligations.
DPDPA establishes significant financial penalties for non-compliance. The Data Protection Board of India can impose penalties up to: ₹250 crore for failure to implement reasonable security safeguards and breach notification requirements; ₹200 crore for failure to honor data principal rights, omission to take reasonable safeguards, processing without valid consent, and violations involving children's personal data. Penalties can be imposed for each contravention, meaning multiple violations could result in cumulative penalties exceeding these amounts. The Board will consider factors including nature, gravity, and duration of contravention, type and nature of personal data affected, and repetitive nature of contravention. Beyond financial penalties, organizations face reputational damage, loss of customer trust, business disruption from compliance orders, and potential restrictions on data processing activities. With maximum penalties reaching ₹250 crore (approximately $30 million USD), DPDPA represents substantial financial risk. Proactive compliance is far more cost-effective than penalties and remediation.
DPDPA requires consent that is free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous with clear affirmative action. Breaking this down: Free: Given voluntarily without coercion or pressure. Specific: Obtained for each specified purpose separately (no blanket consent). Informed: Data principal must understand what they're consenting to, including purpose, who is collecting data, and their rights. Unconditional: Cannot condition service provision on consent for unnecessary processing. Unambiguous: Must involve clear affirmative action (e.g., clicking "I agree," checking box); pre-ticked boxes or inactivity don't constitute consent. Withdrawal: Must be as easy to withdraw consent as it was to give it. Organizations must provide simple withdrawal mechanisms and cease processing when consent is withdrawn (except where legal obligations require retention). Children's Consent: For individuals under 18, verifiable parental or guardian consent required. Record-Keeping: Maintain records of consent obtained, including when, how, and for what purpose, and records of withdrawal. Invalid consent can result in penalties up to ₹200 crore, making proper consent management critical.
Yes, DPDPA generally permits cross-border data transfers. Unlike earlier draft legislation that proposed data localization, the enacted DPDPA allows international transfers of personal data subject to certain restrictions. Key provisions: General Permission: Data fiduciaries may transfer personal data outside India to other countries or territories. Restricted Destinations: The Central Government may notify specific countries or territories to which personal data transfer is restricted or prohibited. Safeguards: Transfers to restricted destinations may require additional safeguards, approvals, or conditions. Rules Development: Detailed rules regarding cross-border transfers are awaited. Organizations should: Document international data transfers and destinations, monitor government notifications of restricted countries, implement appropriate security and contractual safeguards with foreign recipients, ensure recipients provide adequate protection for personal data, and maintain ability to fulfill data principal rights for transferred data. The flexible transfer regime supports global business operations while giving government authority to restrict transfers to specific countries if needed for national security or other reasons. Glocert can help design compliant cross-border transfer frameworks.
A Significant Data Fiduciary is an entity designated by the Central Government based on volume and sensitivity of personal data processed, risk to rights of data principals, potential impact on sovereignty and integrity of India, and other prescribed factors. Significant Data Fiduciaries have additional obligations beyond standard data fiduciary requirements: 1. Data Protection Officer (DPO): Appoint a DPO based in India responsible for compliance, who serves as point of contact for data principals and the Data Protection Board. 2. Independent Data Auditor: Appoint independent auditor to evaluate compliance. 3. Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA): Conduct DPIAs for processing activities that pose risk to rights of data principals. 4. Periodic Audit: Undergo regular audits of data protection practices. 5. Additional Safeguards: Implement enhanced technical and organizational measures. While specific designation criteria await rules, organizations processing large volumes of personal data, handling sensitive personal data at scale, or operating platforms with significant user bases should anticipate Significant Data Fiduciary designation and prepare for enhanced obligations including DPO appointment, DPIA processes, and audit readiness.
While both are comprehensive privacy laws, DPDPA and GDPR differ significantly: Scope: DPDPA applies to digital personal data processed in India or for Indian data principals; GDPR applies to personal data of EU residents. Legal Basis: DPDPA emphasizes consent as primary basis (with limited legitimate purposes); GDPR provides six legal bases including legitimate interests. Simplicity: DPDPA is more concise and principle-based; GDPR is detailed and prescriptive. Penalties: DPDPA up to ₹250 crore; GDPR up to €20M or 4% of turnover. Data Localization: DPDPA generally permits cross-border transfers; GDPR requires adequate safeguards. Individual Rights: DPDPA provides access, correction, erasure, grievance redressal, and nomination; GDPR provides broader rights including portability, restriction, and object. Enforcement: DPDPA by Data Protection Board of India; GDPR by supervisory authorities. DPO: DPDPA only for Significant Data Fiduciaries; GDPR for broader set of organizations. Despite differences, both emphasize transparency, individual rights, data security, and accountability. Organizations operating in both jurisdictions can leverage common controls while addressing specific requirements of each framework.
Organizations should begin DPDPA compliance preparation now: 1. Assess Applicability: Determine if and how DPDPA applies to your operations. 2. Conduct Data Mapping: Inventory personal data collected, processed, stored, and shared. 3. Review Consent Practices: Evaluate current consent mechanisms against DPDPA standards. 4. Update Privacy Policies: Revise notices to meet DPDPA transparency requirements. 5. Implement Consent Management: Deploy systems to capture, manage, and facilitate consent withdrawal. 6. Establish Rights Processes: Create workflows to fulfill data principal rights (access, correction, erasure, grievance). 7. Enhance Security: Implement reasonable security safeguards appropriate to data sensitivity. 8. Review Vendor Agreements: Update data processor contracts with DPDPA-required provisions. 9. Develop Breach Response: Prepare incident response and notification procedures. 10. Train Staff: Educate employees on DPDPA requirements and responsibilities. 11. Monitor Rules: Track government rule-making and guidance. 12. Designate Accountability: Assign responsibility for privacy compliance. Starting early provides time to implement controls properly, test processes, build organizational capability, and be ready when DPDPA comes into force.
