DPDP & Data Protection

Turn data-protection obligations into operating responsibilities

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025 follow a phased commencement schedule — the engagement maps requirements to the dates and notifications applicable to you at the time.

What DPDP readiness is meant to achieve

Compliance isn’t a privacy notice. If personal data can’t be located, ownership is unclear, or deletion can’t actually be executed, policy alone won’t resolve the exposure — notices, consent, individual requests, processor oversight, safeguards, and retention all depend on processes and systems working together, and on clear ownership across the functions that actually touch personal data: engineering, product, HR, procurement, and customer support.

Secalyx starts with the data, not the policy: a factual processing inventory — categories, purposes, systems, vendors, flows — that supports every later decision about notices, consent, retention, security, and data-principal rights. Collection is limited to data needed for the stated purpose, and every processing activity is traced back to a documented basis.

Secalyx provides operational and security advisory support, not legal advice — interpretation of legal positions and regulatory obligations should be confirmed with your qualified legal counsel.

What the engagement covers

Processing inventory

Categories of personal data, sources, purposes, systems, and third parties involved, with collection limited to data needed for the stated purpose.

Rights and consent operations

Notices, consent mechanisms, consent withdrawal handling, and data-principal request procedures.

Processor and transfer governance

Contracts, due diligence, security expectations, and oversight of parties processing personal data on your behalf, including cross-border transfer decisions where applicable.

Retention, deletion, and security safeguards

A retention and deletion control plan based on schedules approved by the organization and its legal counsel, backed by access control, encryption, and monitoring for personal data specifically.

Operational ownership

Assigning responsibility for data-protection obligations across engineering, product, HR, procurement, and customer-facing teams, so the program doesn’t rely on one function.

The final scope, exclusions, responsibilities, timeline, and expected outputs are agreed before work begins.

Where DPDP obligations attach

Personal data creates a different obligation at each stage of its life, and a different owner within the organization — this is where DPDP requirements attach to your actual data flow and to the teams that run it.

1. Collect

notice, consent, purpose-limited collection

2. Use

purpose limitation, access control

3. Share

processor terms, third-party oversight

4. Protect

security safeguards, breach response

5. Respond

data-principal requests, grievances

6. Retain & Delete

approved schedules, verified disposal

What you receive — and why it remains usable

Technical, operational, and contractual gaps considered together, not fixed in isolation.
Findings prioritized by data sensitivity and volume, not a uniform checklist.
Program built to remain usable as vendors and processing purposes change.
Legal interpretation routed to your counsel, not guessed at.
Ownership assigned by function, not left as a shared responsibility no one actually holds.
