Why DPDP Consulting Matters Now
Many organisations approach us while searching for a data protection regulation consultant or a DPDP data protection consultant. What they discover is that DPDP compliance is not advisory work — it is an implementation programme involving people, processes, and systems.
Over the past year, we’ve seen a clear pattern across Indian organisations: most teams understand the DPDP Act in theory, but the moment they try to operationalise it, the gaps start appearing. HR has one set of notices; Product teams have another; IT believes consent is a one-time checkbox; Legal tries to retrofit GDPR templates; and suddenly everything feels disconnected.
DPDP compliance is not a policy exercise. It’s a change in how your organisation collects, stores and moves personal data every day. That’s where structured consulting makes the difference. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with your teams to translate rules into real processes — the kind that survive audits, vendor reviews and internal governance.
- Templates and registers built from real Indian use cases, not theoretical models.
- Readiness scorecards that leadership can use to prioritise investment.
- Workshops that align HR, IT, Legal and CX around one coherent playbook.
- Evidence packs that reduce the “what will the auditor ask us?” anxiety.
DPDP Compliance Consulting Services
Our work bridges strategy, compliance and training. We also advise professionals and organisations seeking DPDP certification or formal data protection certification as part of long-term capability building.
DPDP gap assessment and clause-wise review against the Act, Rules and Schedules, with a nine-dimension readiness scorecard and a prioritised roadmap for closure.
Rule 3 notices, multi-channel consent UX with equal-ease withdrawal, legitimate-use registers and full 90-day rights-handling workflows.
Purpose-based retention and erasure matrix mapped to activities, purposes and DPDP schedules, including inactivity and log-retention rules.
First, we map personal data flows for products and services, identifying itemised personal data collected for each purpose. On this base we build the DPIA methodology, risk assessments and Records of Processing Activities (RoPA).
DPDP-aligned processor clauses, sub-processor governance, retention and erasure duties, breach-cooperation mechanisms and cross-border arrangements.
Integrate DPDP requirements into your PIMS. Update annexures, SoA and privacy objectives so governance, registers and evidence are audit-ready.
Toolkits, Templates, Accelerators Included
Every consulting engagement includes production-ready artefacts that reduce implementation time and make DPDP compliance repeatable, including a practical DPDP implementation checklist your teams can reuse.

How Our DPDP Consulting Engagement Runs
Our methodology is based on years of privacy and PIMS implementations across sectors, re-oriented for the DPDP Act and the 2025 Rules. It follows a clear, project-managed lifecycle with defined deliverables at each stage.
Phase 1 — Discovery, Context & Readiness
We start with management workshops to understand your business model, key products, data flows, and risk appetite. Using structured interviews and document review, we perform a DPDP gap assessment across functions and systems and score the organisation using a 9-dimension readiness scorecard.
Key outputs: current-state report, clause-wise gap map, readiness scorecard, Data Flow Diagrams, risk hotspots, initial DPDP & PIMS scope note.
Phase 2 — Data Mapping, DPIA & Risk
We help build a practical data inventory, RoPA and data-flow diagrams covering core processing activities. High-risk use cases are subjected to a structured DPIA and DPDP-centric risk assessment, factoring material, non-material and physical impacts on Data Principals and business risk.
Key outputs: RoPA templates populated for priority processes, system-level data flows, DPIA reports, DPDP risk register and treatment priorities.
Phase 3 — Design of DPDP Controls & Framework
Based on the gaps and risks, we design or refine your DPDP control framework: notices, consent, legitimate use, rights-handling, retention, breach management, vendor governance and cross-border transfers. Controls are aligned with your existing ISO 27001 / PIMS structures so that DPDP becomes an integrated management system, not a parallel track.
Key outputs: DPDP policy suite, SOPs, registers, governance charters, RACI matrices and updated PIMS documentation where applicable.
Phase 4 — Implementation Sprints & Workshops
We work with HR, Legal, IT, Security, Product and Operations teams to roll out the designed controls. This includes redesigning notices and consent journeys, building DSAR queues, mapping retention to actual systems, and embedding breach playbooks into your incident processes.
Key outputs: implemented workflows in key systems, updated forms and portals, configured registers, and role-based training for process owners and users.
Phase 5 — Evidence, Testing & Audit Prep
Once controls are operational, we help you assemble evidence for internal audit, Board reporting and external stakeholders. Tabletop exercises are run for breach and DSAR scenarios, and we refine documentation based on lessons learned and findings.
Key outputs: audit-ready evidence packs, internal DPDP / PIMS review report, corrective-action plan and updated registers.
Phase 6 — Optional Sustenance & Virtual DPO Support
For organisations that need ongoing support, we provide periodic reviews, risk and DPIA refreshes, toolkit updates and advisory on new projects or regulators’ expectations.
Key outputs: periodic risk updates, refreshed inventories and registers, advisory notes on new initiatives, and continuous improvement inputs.
Use case Examples - How this works in Real Organizations
Fintech / BFSI
A mid-sized fintech processing millions of customer onboarding records struggled with fragmented data flows. After mapping personal data movement across KYC, underwriting and support systems, we redesigned their notices, created a single RoPA, and implemented a rights-handling workflow that reduced fulfilment time from weeks to days.
Healthcare & Hospitals
A healthcare provider needed clarity on what patient data fell under explicit consent versus legitimate use. Our data-flow work uncovered undocumented transfer points between EMR, diagnostics and billing systems. This became the basis for their retention matrix and a far more defensible breach playbook.
SaaS & Product Companies
A SaaS platform with India + EU users needed DPDP alignment without breaking its GDPR design. We rewrote purpose statements, updated its consent screens for equal-ease withdrawal, mapped cross-border flows and drafted a processor addendum for Indian B2B customers requesting DPDP coverage.
DPDP Readiness Checklist
Our 9-dimension readiness checklist helps you understand exactly where you stand before and after the consulting engagement.
Legal readiness and understanding of DPDP obligations.
Governance and accountability structures.
Technical safeguards and logging.
Data lifecycle and classification maturity.
Vendor and processor ecosystem readiness.
Notice and consent coverage across channels.
Rights-handling capability and SLA adherence.
Retention and erasure practice on real systems.
Breach readiness, playbooks and evidence.
| Score Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0–40% | High risk – foundational DPDP work needed. |
| 41–70% | Moderate – controls exist but are incomplete or inconsistent. |
| 71–100% | Strong base – focus on optimisation, PIMS integration and evidence. |
Why Organizations Choose Pricoris for DPDP
Indian Rules & Schedules First: We design controls directly from the DPDP Act, Rules and schedules, not only from generic global templates.
Implementation, Not Just Advice: We sit with your teams to design workflows, registers and evidence that actually work in your environment.
Integrated with Security & PIMS: Existing ISO 27001 and PIMS practices are reused and strengthened rather than duplicated.
Templates and Toolkits Included: DPIA, RoPA, DFDs, SOPs, registers and training decks are part of the engagement, not upsells.

Sector Insights We Commonly Bring to DPDP Projects
Healthcare: Consent, minors, PWD handling and frequent data sharing between labs, EMR platforms and insurers mean hospitals face complex DPDP implications. We help clarify lawful bases, tighten retention rules for clinical and non-clinical data, and build defensible breach response processes.
SaaS & Digital Products: Rapid release cycles, analytics pipelines and cross-border integrations often create unintentional DPDP gaps. We work with product and engineering teams to align consent, cookie strategies, logging, DSAR pipes and contractual commitments with customers’ DPDP expectations.
BFSI & Fintech: High-volume KYC data, vendor-heavy architecture and RBI compliance obligations mean BFSI firms must thread DPDP into their existing controls. We map data flows from onboarding to collections, resolve overlaps between statutory retention and DPDP erasure, and strengthen governance for downstream processors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What size of organisations do you work with?
We work with mid-size and large Indian organisations as well as global companies that process Indian personal data. The approach scales from focused DPDP readiness for a single product to full enterprise-wide programmes.
2. How long does a typical DPDP consulting engagement take?
It depends on scope and complexity. A focused readiness and design engagement may take 6–8 weeks; full implementation and PIMS integration usually spans a few months with phased rollouts.
3. Do you provide templates and tools as part of consulting?
Yes. Our DPIA, RoPA, DFD, gap assessment workbook and DPDP toolkit are included so that your team can maintain compliance after the engagement.
4. Can you help us align GDPR and other global laws with DPDP?
Yes. For organisations already running GDPR programmes, we map existing artefacts to DPDP requirements, add India-specific retention, breach and rights rules, and adjust notices and contracts accordingly.
5. Do you integrate DPDP with ISO 27001 and PIMS (ISO 27701:2025)?
Our method is built around management systems. Where you already have ISO 27001 or PIMS, we extend and align them instead of starting from scratch, so governance and evidence sit in one place.
6. How is consulting different from your DPDP & PIMS training?
It is a short self-assessment that scores your organisation’s notices, consent, rights handling, retention and breach processes and highlights DPDP + PIMS gaps to prioritise.
7. Are there any prerequisites for this training?
No formal prerequisite is required. A basic understanding of IT, legal or compliance concepts is helpful but not mandatory.
8. Can you support us during regulator or customer audits?
Yes. We can help you prepare evidence packs, rehearse responses, and ensure your DPDP controls and PIMS documentation are aligned with the questions auditors typically ask.
