Your data privacy risk is not sitting in the privacy policy.

It sits across the systems, teams, vendors and processes that collect, use, share and retain personal data. DPDP compliance begins with knowing what personal data your organization holds, where it moves, who processes it, and what controls govern it. 

Aegis works across those touchpoints to turn DPDP requirements into controls the organisation can actually operate.

THE DPDP CHALLENGE

Personal data is distributed across the organisation. Compliance is not.

Personal data is collected through websites, applications, HR processes, customer interactions and other business functions. It is then processed across internal systems and shared with vendors, service providers and other third parties.

The resulting compliance challenge is operational: organisations need visibility into where personal data is collected, how it is processed, who it is shared with, how long it is retained and what controls govern each stage.

A privacy policy documents obligations. It does not by itself establish that those obligations are being followed across the data lifecycle.

BREACH RESPONSE

WHEN PERSONAL DATA IS COMPROMISED

The response starts before the breach.

A breach is not the point at which an organisation should begin deciding who does what. The response framework needs to be established beforehand with clear escalation, assessment, containment, notification and remediation responsibilities.

DPDP compliance is not only about preventing or controlling data misuse. It is also about having a defined organisational response when an incident occurs.

Aegis helps establish breach response protocols and provides incident support when personal-data incidents occur.

Before an incident

Response protocols, escalation paths and responsibilities are defined in advance.

When an incident occurs

The organisation can move from detection to assessment, containment and response without designing the process under pressure.

DPDP compliance, put into practice.

Aegis covers the work required to move from readiness assessment to privacy programme development, operational oversight, training and ongoing privacy leadership.

01
Step 01

Know Your Position

DPDP Gap Assessment / Readiness Audit

Evaluate current data practices against DPDP requirements, identify gaps and prioritise remediation.

Data Mapping

Map personal data across systems, business processes, vendors and geographies establishing what is collected, where it is held and who it is shared with.

Regulatory Compliance

Assess organisation-wide and department-specific DPDP requirements and develop prioritised compliance roadmaps with responsible owners and implementation timelines.

02
Step 02

Put the Framework into Practice

Privacy Governance & Operating Model

Establish ownership, accountability and escalation paths for ongoing privacy management.

Privacy Program Development

Build the privacy programme across policies, consent, processing, retention, deletion, vendor management, incident response and training.

Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)

Draft and review DPDP-aligned provisions for vendor and processor relationships.

Data Breach Response Protocol

Define internal escalation, containment, investigation and notification procedures before an incident occurs.

03
Step 03

Keep Privacy Operating

Third-Party Privacy Risk Management

Govern and monitor how personal data is shared with vendors and partners.

Continuous Privacy Oversight

Monitor privacy compliance through audits, self-assessments, regulatory-change tracking, vendor reviews and remediation.

Staff Training & Culture

Deliver role-based privacy training, awareness programmes, assessments and privacy-champion initiatives.

DPO as a Service

Provide ongoing privacy leadership covering DPIAs, data-principal requests, vendor oversight, breach coordination and management advice.

From collection to deletion, DPDP follows data

1Collect
What personal data enters the organisation?
2Consent
How is consent obtained and managed?
3Process
How and why is personal data used?
4Share
Who receives or processes the data?
5Retain
Where does the data remain through its lifecycle?
6Delete
When and how does the data leave the lifecycle?

Not every data use carries the
same exposure.

A Data Protection Impact Assessment examines a proposed or existing processing activity in context the nature of the personal data, purpose of processing, people and systems involved, access and sharing arrangements, and the potential impact on individuals.

The objective is not simply to identify risk. It is to determine whether the processing is appropriately controlled, where additional safeguards are required, and what needs to change before the activity proceeds or continues.

DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DPIA)

A structured assessment that connects processing activity → exposure → required controls, giving the organisation a documented basis for deciding how higher-risk processing should be governed.

DPDP COMPLIANCE

Know your data.
Know your exposure.

AEGIS takes DPDP from readiness assessment into implemented controls, ongoing monitoring and breach support. Every AEGIS engagement is defined around clear deliverables, timelines and accountability.
