DPDP Compliance Platform for India
ProtectComply is India's end-to-end DPDP compliance platform — capture consent, generate policies, honour data-principal rights, manage grievances and breaches, and prove it all with an audit trail. Built for the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
What is a DPDP compliance platform?
A DPDP compliance platform is software that helps an Indian business meet every obligation under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — from collecting valid consent to honouring data-principal rights and reporting breaches to the Data Protection Board. Instead of stitching together spreadsheets, email and legal templates, you run the whole lifecycle in one auditable system.
ProtectComply is built specifically for the DPDP Act. It pairs a hosted consent management preference centre and embeddable widget with AI-drafted privacy policies, a data-principal rights (DSR) and grievance portal, breach lifecycle workflows, and Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) — so you can demonstrate compliance, not just claim it.

Why compliance teams trust ProtectComply
Every module maps to a specific DPDP section or Rule — so the platform is auditable against the law itself, not a vendor’s interpretation of it.
Mapped to the Act & Rules
Built directly on the DPDP Act 2023 and the DPDP Rules notified in January 2025. Section and Rule references (§6, §11, §13, Rules 12–13, DEPA Rule 4) are surfaced inline on every module.
India data residency
Tenant data is stored in India, aligning with data-localisation expectations for Indian Data Fiduciaries and India-exposed businesses.
Evidence-based readiness
350+ sectoral assessment questions with evidence upload and AI vision validation, plus a website scanner running 60+ automated checks across 10 weighted DPDP domains.
Built for every Indian language
Notices, consent banners and DSR responses auto-translate into all 22 official Indian languages listed in the First Schedule of the Constitution.
Auditable by design
Multi-tenant RBAC, immutable audit logs, and per-purpose consent records give you the paper trail the Data Protection Board expects — not just a checkbox.
Breach & grievance SLAs
72-hour breach detection and 24-hour Board-notification workflows, plus §13 grievance handling with refusal-must-state-reasons, all timer-tracked.
DPDP — frequently asked
The questions Indian businesses ask before they buy.
What is the DPDP Act?
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 governs how businesses collect, store, and process personal data of Indian residents. The DPDP Rules were notified in January 2025; enforcement is rolling out across 2025 and 2026.
Who needs to comply?
Any business — Indian or foreign — that processes personal data of individuals in India. This includes Data Fiduciaries (you decide why and how data is processed) and Data Processors (you process on someone else's behalf).
What are the penalties?
Up to ₹250 crore per failure to safeguard personal data and ₹200 crore for failing to notify the Board of a breach. Other categories carry their own caps under Schedule of the Act.
Does ProtectComply cover the new DPDP Rules (2025)?
Yes. Rules 12 and 13 (grievance, refusal-must-state-reasons), Rule 4 (DEPA interop), and Rule 9 (children's consent) are wired into the platform. Section references are surfaced inline on each module.
Can I use just one module — say, consent — without the rest?
Yes. Consent Management is available as a standalone Consent-as-a-Service offering with BYO-domain and DEPA Rule-4 interop. See the /depa page.
Is this only for Indian businesses?
No. DPDP has extraterritorial reach — if you process personal data of Indians, you fall under it. Several non-Indian customers run ProtectComply for their India-exposed product lines.
How long does DPDP implementation take with ProtectComply?
Most businesses reach a DPDP-ready baseline in under 30 days: run the website scanner and readiness assessment on day one, generate your notices and policies from the AI policy bank, publish the consent banner and DSR portal, and stand up the grievance and breach workflows. Larger enterprises with complex data flows typically complete a full RoPA and vendor mapping within 60–90 days.
How is the DPDP readiness score calculated?
The readiness score aggregates your answers across 350+ sectoral assessment questions mapped to specific DPDP sections and Rules, weighted by obligation severity and evidence quality. The website scanner contributes a separate score from 60+ automated checks across 10 weighted DPDP domains. See our methodology page for the full scoring breakdown.
What do I need to do first to become DPDP compliant?
Start by discovering where personal data lives (data mapping / RoPA), then publish a compliant privacy notice and consent mechanism, appoint a point of contact or DPO for grievances, and put a breach-notification process in place. ProtectComply sequences these for you: the readiness assessment tells you exactly which obligations you're missing and in what order to close them.
Do I need a Data Protection Officer (DPO) under the DPDP Act?
Significant Data Fiduciaries must appoint a DPO based in India who reports to the Board. Other Data Fiduciaries must still publish contact details of a person who can answer questions about processing and handle grievances. ProtectComply's grievance module and public DSR portal give you a compliant point of contact whether or not you're classified as a Significant Data Fiduciary.
