Industry-Specific Threats
Understand the unique compliance risks your industry faces under DPDP regulations.
Payment Data & PII Mishandling
Storing full card details, CVV, or customer PII without tokenization and encryption violates DPDP and PCI DSS. Common in platforms using basic checkout systems.
Unmanaged Payment & Logistics Partners
Payment gateways, shipping providers, CRM platforms, and email services processing customer data without formal Data Processor Agreements (DPA).
Weak Consent & Cookie Management
Website analytics, marketing pixels, remarketing tags without explicit granular consent. Pre-ticked boxes and bundled consent violate DPDP.
No Breach Response or Data Deletion Workflow
No documented process for customer data deletion requests, breach notification, or incident response planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common DPDP compliance questions.
DPDP requires appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if you process data at scale or deal with sensitive categories. We offer DPO-as-a-Service for smaller platforms.
Third-party processors must be explicitly covered under Data Processor Agreements (DPA). We help negotiate and standardize these contracts.
You must notify the affected individual within 72 hours if the breach poses risk. A formal incident response plan is essential.
Non-essential cookies (marketing, analytics) require explicit user consent before deployment. Technical cookies can operate without consent.
Penalties range from ₹5 crore to ₹250 crore depending on the violation severity. Early compliance investments are far cheaper.
