DPDP (DPDPA) Implementation
Comply with Confidence. Protect with Purpose.
At IIRIS, our DPDP Implementation Services help organisations navigate India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, with practical controls, robust workflows, and audit-ready evidence. We identify compliance gaps, implement safeguards, and build sustainable data governance frameworks. Whether facing regulatory deadlines or Board scrutiny, IIRIS ensures you stay compliant, resilient, and enforcement-ready.
Build Privacy into Every Process
DPDP Readiness & Gap Assessment
We conduct comprehensive compliance assessments using a master checklist for Data Fiduciaries. Our evaluation identifies gaps in Privacy Notices, Consent Flows, Governance Structures, and rights management systems. We verify DPO appointments, review Vendor contracts, and assess Data Principal request handling capabilities. You receive a clear risk score and prioritised roadmap to achieve compliance based on regulatory timelines and enforcement risk.
Data Discovery, Classification & Data Flow Mapping
We deploy automated tools to scan your entire ecosystem, on-premises, cloud, databases, and endpoints, creating a complete inventory of data assets. We identify sensitive information in unstructured formats (PDFs, emails, spreadsheets) and uncover Shadow IT repositories. Our intelligent classification applies automated labels (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted) aligned with DPDPA, GDPR, and other standards. We map end-to-end data flows from creation to destination, pinpointing vulnerabilities, tracking cross-border transfers, and ensuring data sovereignty compliance.
Notices, Consent & Preference Management
We implement compliant systems for transparency, permission, and control under the DPDP Act requirements. Our solutions include clear Privacy Notices, cookie banners, and just-in-time disclosures explaining data collection, purpose, and sharing. We design consent mechanisms, opt-in, opt-out, and granular controls that balance user choice with business needs. Our Preference Management portals allow Data Principals to review, update, or withdraw consent anytime, with built-in DSAR workflows. This reduces regulatory risk (fines of ₹50–250 Crores), builds trust, and improves data quality.
Data Principal Rights & Grievance Handling
We build robust workflows to handle individual rights requests under the DPDP Act, 2023, and Rules, 2025. Our systems provide accessible channels (portals, email, apps) for Access, Correction, Erasure, and Nomination requests. We implement secure identity verification, formal acknowledgment protocols (3–7 days), and complete data discovery across databases, cloud, and vendors. Our workflows include exemption reviews, downstream vendor synchronization, and comprehensive audit logging. We establish two-tier grievance frameworks with internal Grievance Officers or DPOs, 30-day resolution timelines, reasoned responses, and multilingual support (English + 22 constitutional languages).
Vendor/Processor Governance & Contract Checks
We establish robust Data Processor oversight to maintain end-to-end compliance. Our services include reviewing vendor data handling practices, security controls, contractual obligations, and Data Processing Agreements for adequacy. We assess sub-processor management, cross-border transfer safeguards, and liability clauses. Ongoing governance includes regular compliance audits, downstream synchronization for erasure and correction requests, incident notification protocols, and secure exit procedures with data return or destruction.
Breach Readiness & Security Safeguards Alignment
We bridge the gap between prevention and response, ensuring real-time detection, containment, and recovery. We map every security tool to your Incident Response Plan, configure systems pre-breach for high-fidelity logging and evidence capture, and conduct Purple Team exercises to test safeguards against real-world attacks. Our approach aligns with NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, meeting DPDP "reasonable security safeguards" requirements while improving security posture and forensic readiness.
Training & Ongoing Monitoring/Audit Support
We move organisations from legal awareness to operational competence. Our role-based training covers all employees (fundamentals, penalties, duty of care), Marketing & Sales (consent management, avoiding dark patterns), HR & Finance (sensitive data handling, purpose limitation), and IT & Engineering (Privacy by Design, encryption, technical erasure). We develop SOPs for consent protocols, rights handling, and breach response, with practical assessments including mock requests and breach scenarios. For ongoing compliance, we monitor consent lifecycles, vendor oversight, and grievance performance. Our structured audits verify purpose limitation, data retention, and security safeguards, delivering regular reporting to keep you audit-ready and defensible.
