The Digital Personal Data Protection Act changes how every Indian business must handle personal data — but for SMBs without a dedicated privacy team, it can feel overwhelming.
Start with data mapping: know what personal data you collect, where it lives, and who has access. Most gaps we find during assessments come from businesses simply not knowing this.
Next, build a consent framework. Consent must be specific, informed and revocable — a vague checkbox at signup no longer holds up. Review every form, app and integration that collects user data.
Third, appoint a point of contact for data protection, even if it isn't a full-time DPO yet. Regulators expect someone accountable.
Finally, prepare a breach response plan. The Act expects timely notification to both the Data Protection Board and affected individuals — you don't want to be drafting this process for the first time during an actual incident.
Compliance isn't a one-time project. Treat it as an ongoing practice, reviewed quarterly as your data flows evolve.
