DPIA — Data Protection Impact Assessment Under DPDP
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 […]
Children’s Data Under DPDP §9
Why this module exists. DPDP §9 is the strictest section of the Act. It prohibits behavioural tracking of children, prohibits targeted advertising to children, and requires verifiable parental consent for processing children’s data. Indian edtech, social media, gaming, and even general e-commerce all touch this section. The penalties for §9 violations are uncapped relative to […]
DPDP Penalties, Adjudication & Appeals
Why this module exists. “How much can DPDP fines actually be?” The answer depends on the specific violation, the harm caused, and the discretion of the Data Protection Board. The Schedule maps violations to caps; the adjudication process determines the actual amount. Both sides — what gets fined and how — are widely misunderstood. The […]
DPDP for SaaS — Building DPDP-Compliant Indian SaaS
Why this module exists. Indian SaaS companies are growing 30% YoY and most are scaling faster than their compliance posture. Founders wait until “we hit ₹10 crore ARR” or “we have to sell to a regulated customer” — by which time retrofitting DPDP costs 5x more than building it in. This module is the day-one […]
DPDP Audit Readiness — DPB Inspection Playbook
Why this module exists. The Data Protection Board has inspection powers under §28. When the DPB shows up — physically or via written information request — you have days, not months, to produce evidence. Most Indian businesses can’t currently. This module is the readiness checklist. What the DPB can ask for Under §28 + civil-court […]
DPDP × RBI / SEBI / IRDAI / GDPR Mapping
Why this module exists. Indian regulated entities don’t operate under DPDP alone. RBI Cyber Framework, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI guidelines, ABDM, plus international frameworks (GDPR, ISO 27701) for global customers. Each has overlapping but distinct requirements. The compliance team that maps them all onto a unified control set ships faster than the team that runs three […]
Data Subject Rights — Building the DSR Workflow
Why this module exists. DPDP Sections 11, 12, 13 grant Data Principals four rights: access, correction, erasure, grievance redress. Every Data Fiduciary must have a workflow to honour these. The workflow is where most Indian businesses fail — they have a privacy notice, no DSR pipeline, and a 7-day deadline they can’t meet. The four […]
Cross-Border Data Transfers — DPDP §16 in Practice
Why this module exists. DPDP §16 is the section every Indian SaaS founder argues with their legal team about. “Can we use AWS US?” “Can we send data to our analytics team in Singapore?” “What about Stripe?” The answers depend on where you are sectorally and what mechanism you use. Most enterprises operate in a […]
Azure RBAC & Privilege Escalation Paths
Why this module exists. Azure has two parallel permission systems — RBAC for management plane (resources), Entra ID roles for identity plane. Most engineers treat them as one. Attackers know they’re separate, and the mismatched grants are where privilege escalation lives. The two-plane model Management plane (Azure RBAC). Who can create / read / modify […]
GCP IAM & Workload Identity Federation
Why this module exists. Every Indian SaaS that adopted GCP after 2022 inherited an IAM model fundamentally different from AWS. The pieces look similar — IAM, service accounts, roles — but the wiring is different and the attack paths are different. If you bring AWS muscle memory to GCP, you’ll either over-permission everything or miss […]
