Overview
Achieved regulatory readiness and strengthened data governance for a financial institution under India’s DPDP Act.
Location: India
Introduction: A financial institution with personal data moving across multiple systems and third parties needed a structured plan to comply with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act before it came into force.
Challenge
The institution lacked a consolidated view of its personal data landscape. Disconnected systems, undocumented third-party data flows, and the absence of a formal consent and breach-response framework left significant gaps against India’s evolving data privacy requirements.
Solution
We conducted a comprehensive DPDP Act readiness assessment, mapping personal data flows across internal systems and external processors. Our team identified compliance gaps against the regulatory framework and delivered a structured remediation roadmap with prioritised controls aligned to the institution’s risk profile.
Impact: The engagement established a clear and actionable path to DPDPA compliance. The institution strengthened its data governance posture, formalised consent handling mechanisms, and built breach-readiness capabilities ahead of India’s regulatory enforcement timeline.
