We bridge the gap between regulatory mandates and production code. We audit your live data stores, log aggregators, and frontends—then ship the exact PRs, middleware, and telemetry monitors needed to neutralize ₹250 Cr penalty exposure under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA).
DPDPA is anchored in three foundational pillars designed to balance citizen autonomy with exponential economic innovation.
The Data Principal is the rightful owner of their personal identity and digital footprint.
Moving Indian enterprises from reckless hoarding to intentional, minimal data custody.
A thriving $1 Trillion digital economy built on rock-solid trust and institutional integrity.
Government of India has laid out a phased enforcement schedule. Here is the exact roadmap of when the rules and penalties activate.
Activates the regulator and overall enforcement setup. The Data Protection Board of India (DPBI) is constituted with adjudicatory infrastructure, digital inquiry channels, and appellate mechanisms.
Switches on a limited set of rules early, mainly the rules tied to Consent Managers and the Board's power to recognize and regulate them.
The real compliance obligations kick in, everything from consent and user rights to security, children's data, breach reporting, international transfers, and penalties becomes enforceable.
With 13 May 2027 on the horizon, the clock is already ticking.
Organisations that start now will lead with trust and resilience, while those that delay risk regulatory exposure, higher costs, and business disruption.
An integrated framework of technical products and hands-on services mapped directly to statutory DPDPA sections.

From enterprise bank procurement to Quick Commerce GPS streams—we audit your live stores, advise on regulatory mapping, ship remediation PRs, and continuously monitor your stack.
Postgres rows have tenant IDs, but shared Kafka streams and Sentry/Datadog log drains dump raw customer PII across tenants. Third-party marketing SDKs silently harvest telemetry without signed DPAs, freezing HDFC, ICICI, and Tata enterprise deals.
RBI mandates keeping transaction ledgers for 10 years, while DPDPA Section 8 mandates erasing personal data upon account closure. Plaintext Aadhaar numbers, PAN cards, and bank account details bleed into staging databases and operational caches.
Exact customer home addresses, gate codes, and unmasked phone numbers are exposed in plaintext to delivery fleets and 3PL APIs. When a user requests account deletion, past order items and GPS crumbs remain orphaned across 20+ microservices and Redis clusters.
Lab reports, blood tests, and prescription scans sit in unencrypted S3 buckets with indefinite retention and zero access logs. Consent is recorded as a single static boolean (`agreed: true`) instead of granular, withdrawable digital consent artifacts.
Lawyers can't write SQL queries. Big 4 won't look at your pull requests. We inspect the actual pipes.
We connect a read-replica of your PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB. We run automated regex scanners to identify unencrypted Aadhaar, PAN, phone numbers, and calculate strict data retention horizons.
We audit your application logging configurations in Datadog, Sentry, and CloudWatch. We provide drop-in middleware to mask sensitive Indian PII before logs leave your VPC.
Every SDK in your frontend and backend (Mixpanel, CleverTap, Meta Pixel, Amplitude) is legally a Data Processor under DPDPA. We generate an exact inventory and draft required DPA contracts.
Section 5 mandates notices in English + 22 Indian scheduled languages with granular opt-ins. We provide copy-paste frontend components and webhook specs for 1-click consent revocation.
DPDPA mandates reporting breaches to the Data Protection Board and users immediately. We build your automated incident trigger pipeline so you don’t violate the ₹200 Cr breach reporting clause.
A comprehensive, attorney-backed compliance audit report that your founders can attach to enterprise RFP responses, ISO/SOC2 audits, or board decks for VC due diligence.
Buying 4 different SaaS licenses or hiring lawyers with 150-page PDFs leaves your engineers stranded. We advise, implement into your code, and stand by you 24/7.

Choose the sprint that matches your immediate corporate urgency.
Ideal for Seed to Pre-Series A startups wanting a rapid sanity check of their data stack before going to market.
For B2B SaaS or other industry products or platforms who deal with customer data at any level.
For publicly listed enterprises, multi-subsidiary conglomerates, and Significant Data Fiduciaries with complex hybrid on-prem, ERPs, and high-volume data estates.
Deep-dive technical blueprints on database schemas, bank procurement audits, and multi-tenant DPDPA engineering.
Crossing the 10k-customer milestone breaks manual Jira workflows and cascading SQL scripts. Discover how to architect tenant data isolation before bank procurement audits freeze 6-figure deals.
Every consumer app has turned into an unlicensed storefront for NBFC loans. Why silent bureau pings, bundled checkboxes, and unmonitored partner webhooks trigger statutory ₹250 Cr penalties.
Everything CTOs and founders ask before engaging our technical audit sprint.
No. We never ask for write access or direct connections to your live production clusters. We typically inspect a sanitized read-replica, an anonymized schema dump, or guide your own senior engineers to run our read-only diagnostic scripts locally within your secure VPC.
Tier-1 banks (HDFC, ICICI, SBI) and IT giants require strict proof of DPDPA Section 8 compliance during InfoSec vendor onboarding. We provide an enterprise-grade Vendor Privacy & Security Dossier that answers their exact 50+ question compliance checklists, eliminating months of back-and-forth between procurement teams.
RBI rules require retaining financial records for audit/PMLA purposes, which is protected under Section 7 ("Certain Legitimate Uses"). However, marketing tracking, behavioral analytics, and unencrypted customer PII stored outside core transactional ledgers are fully governed by DPDPA. We architect a dual-track retention schedule so you satisfy RBI without violating DPDPA.
Week 1 is automated architecture and schema scanning. Week 2 is engineering remediation (deploying notice kits, log scrubbers, and vendor agreements). Week 3 is final verification and delivering the signed Board-Ready and RFP-Ready audit certificate.
All audit reports and vendor dossiers are co-authored by our cybersecurity engineering leads and vetted by our partner corporate data privacy advocates practicing before Indian high courts and MeitY regulatory forums.
