A Data Protection Officer is the cornerstone of your DPDP compliance programme — but hiring a full-time, qualified DPO is expensive, time-consuming, and difficult for most businesses. Our DPO-as-a-Service gives you a dedicated, expert advocate serving as your outsourced DPO at a fraction of the cost — with everything a full-time DPO delivers, and more.
A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is the senior individual responsible for overseeing your organisation's data protection strategy, ensuring DPDP Act compliance, acting as the point of contact for the Data Protection Board, and handling Data Principal rights requests. Under the DPDP Act 2023, the government can designate categories of Data Fiduciaries — called Significant Data Fiduciaries — who are legally required to appoint a DPO. Even where not legally mandatory, a DPO is strongly recommended for any business processing personal data at scale.
Everything a qualified, full-time DPO would do — delivered by our team of advocates and privacy specialists on your behalf.
Ongoing monitoring of your data practices against DPDP Act requirements — reviewing new features, new data uses, and new vendor relationships before they go live to ensure every change is compliant from day one.
Your named DPO acts as the official point of contact with the Data Protection Board of India — handling all regulatory communications, inquiry responses, and formal correspondence on your organisation's behalf.
Managing and responding to all Data Principal rights requests — access, correction, erasure, nomination — within mandated timelines, maintaining a complete rights request register, and escalating complex cases for legal review.
Serving as your published Grievance Officer — receiving, acknowledging, investigating, and resolving user privacy complaints within prescribed timelines, with full documentation of every grievance and its resolution.
Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for new products, new data processing activities, and significant system changes — identifying privacy risks before launch and recommending mitigations.
Delivering periodic privacy awareness training to your employees — covering DPDP Act obligations, internal data handling procedures, breach reporting duties, and their personal responsibilities as data handlers in your organisation.
Leading your organisation's response to data breaches — coordinating containment, assessing notification obligations, drafting Board notifications, managing user communications, and maintaining incident records.
Producing quarterly compliance reports for your board or leadership team — summarising the state of your data protection programme, open risks, completed remediation actions, and upcoming compliance milestones.
Three engagement tiers designed for different business sizes and compliance maturity levels. All plans include a named DPO, regulatory contact designation, and ongoing advisory support.
We begin with a comprehensive onboarding assessment — understanding your business, your data ecosystem, current compliance state, existing policies, vendor relationships, and key data processing activities. This baseline becomes our working foundation as your DPO.
We execute a formal DPO Services Agreement and appointment letter — making our appointment official and legally documented. Your website Privacy Policy, internal notices, and regulatory records are updated to reflect the named DPO contact details. All Data Protection Board registrations are updated accordingly.
Based on the baseline assessment, we produce a prioritised compliance roadmap — identifying critical gaps to fix immediately (quick wins) and a structured plan for achieving full compliance over 90 days. We begin actioning high-priority items in the first week.
From month one, your DPO function runs continuously — handling rights requests, responding to grievances, reviewing new features, attending key meetings, monitoring regulatory updates, delivering staff training, and producing compliance reports. We become an embedded part of your privacy governance structure.
Your DPO is an enrolled advocate with expertise in Cyber Law, IT Act, and DPDP compliance — not a compliance consultant. Legal professional privilege applies to all DPO communications.
Deep knowledge of the DPDP Act 2023, IT Act 2000, and sector-specific Indian regulations — not a GDPR DPO repurposed for India. We understand the Data Protection Board, its processes, and India-specific compliance requirements.
No lengthy onboarding, no recruitment process. Your DPO is named, appointed, and functioning within days — not months. Immediate coverage from the moment you engage us.
Fixed monthly retainer — no salary, no benefits, no recruitment fees, no training costs. A fraction of the cost of a full-time DPO with broader expertise and zero continuity risk.
No resignation, no sick leave, no gaps in coverage. Our team structure ensures your DPO function is always active — even during holidays, handovers, or team changes on our side.
As your business grows, your DPO engagement scales with it — upgrade your plan, add services, or expand scope at any time without the complexity of hiring, re-hiring, or restructuring an internal team.
Don't let a vacant DPO role leave your organisation exposed. Our DPO-as-a-Service gives you an expert, advocate-qualified Data Protection Officer — active within days, at a fraction of full-time cost.
