Why this module exists. §10(2)(c) requires Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs) to conduct DPIAs. The Rules (when published) will likely extend DPIA expectations to high-risk processing by all Data Fiduciaries. Most Indian businesses have never done one. The methodology is more practical than the legal text suggests.

What a DPIA is
A structured assessment of a processing activity:
- What data do you process, why, how?
- Is the processing necessary and proportionate?
- What risks does it pose to data principals?
- What mitigations bring the risks to acceptable levels?
- What residual risk remains?
Output: a document. Reviewed periodically. Available to the regulator on request.
