What we check

8 check modules

  • Privacy noticeA clear, itemised notice: data, purposes, withdrawal, rights and the Board.
  • Consent bannerConsent is asked for clearly, Reject is offered, nothing is pre-ticked and it can be withdrawn.
  • Pre-consent trackingAnalytics, advertising and session-replay tools wait for consent and stop after Reject.
  • Rights and grievanceA working route to access, correct and erase data, nominate someone and raise a grievance.
  • Children’s dataVerifiable parental consent and no tracking or targeted ads for anyone under 18.
  • Security hygieneHTTPS, modern TLS, security headers and safe cookies — the visible part of Rule 6.
  • Third partiesEvery outside service, who runs it, and whether the notice discloses sharing and transfers.
  • DisclosuresA published contact person or DPO, retention periods, and the duties only you can confirm.

Beyond the scan

A workspace to close the gaps and prove it

  • Findings with ownersEvery gap gets an owner, a due date and a history. The next scan re-tests it and closes it only when it passes; exceptions need a reason and an approver.
  • Evidence filesUpload the proof no scan can see: encryption settings, access reviews, log retention, restore tests, contracts and DPIAs. Stored privately.
  • Four honest scoresApplicability, website controls, evidence and remediation, each with its formula. Missing evidence never counts as a pass, and nothing is called “certified”.
  • Today or 13 May 2027Each finding shows when its provision applies and whether it applies to you only in some cases, such as children’s data or Significant Data Fiduciaries.
  • Retention under Rule 8Record whether the Third Schedule applies to you, the 48-hour notice before erasure, and data you must keep longer by law.
  • Your team, with rolesAdd your DPO, security lead, colleagues and a read-only auditor. Each role changes only its areas, and two-step sign-in protects every account.
  • Exemptions, transfers, children, SDFAn exemptions register with clause and approver, processors outside India checked against Section 16 and sector rules, parental consent under Rule 10, and DPO, DPIA and audit dates if you are notified as an SDF.
  • Processors told automaticallyWhen someone withdraws consent or you complete an erasure request, each processor gets a signed notice or an email, and the log is kept as evidence.
  • Rights, consent and breachesA rights request page with your published response period, a consent banner and ledger, and a breach register with the 72-hour Board timer.

Questions

The DPDP Act in plain words

What is the DPDP Act?

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 is India’s law on how organisations collect and use digital personal data. The DPDP Rules, 2025, notified on 13 November 2025, bring it into force in stages.

Does it apply to my business?

Yes, if you process digital personal data in India, whatever your size, or if you are outside India and offer goods or services to people in India. Significant Data Fiduciaries have extra duties.

When do I have to comply?

The duties on notice, consent, security, breaches, rights and children apply from 13 May 2027. The Data Protection Board has existed since 13 November 2025, and Consent Managers can register from 13 November 2026.

What are the penalties?

Up to ₹250 crore for failing to protect personal data with reasonable security, up to ₹200 crore for not reporting a breach or for breaking the rules on children’s data, and up to ₹50 crore for other breaches of the Act.

Does my website need a consent banner?

The Act does not mention cookies, but analytics and advertising tools that collect personal data need a clear notice and free, specific consent given by a clear action, unless a legitimate use applies. Withdrawing must be as easy as agreeing.

Is a good score proof of compliance?

No. The scan sees only what any visitor can see. Contracts, security controls, retention and breach plans need evidence from inside your organisation, which the workspace helps you collect.
