India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 applies to virtually every business that handles personal data of Indian residents — customers, employees, vendors — with penalties up to ₹250 crore for failing to maintain reasonable security safeguards. With DPDP Rules operationalizing the law, enforcement readiness is no longer optional.

Who must comply — and what's at risk
If you store customer phone numbers, employee Aadhaar/PAN copies, CCTV footage or marketing lists, DPDPA applies to you as a Data Fiduciary. The Act's penalty schedule is steep: up to ₹250 crore for security-safeguard failures and ₹200 crore for breach-notification failures. Significant Data Fiduciaries face added duties — DPO appointment, audits and impact assessments.
The good news: a structured 8–12 week program covers most SMB obligations, and if you're pursuing ISO 27001 the security work overlaps heavily. Start with our DPDPA gap assessment — a clear, jargon-free report on exactly where you stand.
