Overview

What is DPDP Act?

India's comprehensive data protection law governing the processing of digital personal data, establishing rights of data principals and obligations of data fiduciaries.

Who it applies to

Organisations processing digital personal data in India, and those processing Indian data from outside the country when offering goods or services here. Relevant to essentially every Indian business holding customer records.

How the standard is organised

Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Compliance Management Platform helps you track and prepare for. The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.

On the platform

DPDP Act on the Bitkosh platform

The 46 DPDP Act controls sit in one workspace, evidence is collected from the systems you already run, and shared controls satisfy the equivalent requirement in the other 34 frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
