Data Protection & Privacy, Frequently Asked
Questions buyers ask before engaging.
Are you DPDP Act-ready?
Yes. The 2023 DPDP Act and forthcoming Rules are core to our advisory. Consent-architecture design, DPIA frameworks, and cross-border transfer mechanisms are standard scope on data-protection retainers.
Can you run a breach-response engagement?
Yes. 72-hour CERT-In notification, DPB notification (when applicable), affected-data-principal communication, regulator-correspondence, and post-incident remediation are run as a structured incident-response engagement.
Do you negotiate DPAs at scale?
Yes. DPA negotiation can be run as a managed ALSP service for vendor-onboarding pipelines (typical client: 100-500 vendor DPAs / quarter), with red-line review against an approved playbook.
