DPDP, in operations
India's data protection clock is running. Vinca closes the gap for fiduciaries who have to operate the Act, not only document it.
India's data protection clock is running. Vinca closes the gap for fiduciaries who have to operate the Act, not only document it.
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 stopped being theoretical the moment the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 were notified on 13 November 2025, with core obligations now rolling out in phases and penalties running up to ₹250 crore per violation.
If your organisation collects, stores or processes personal data belonging to anyone in India (regardless of where you're headquartered) the DPDP Act applies to you.
Vinca Cyber works as DPDP Act consultants in India for data fiduciaries and data processors who need to close that gap fast, offering data protection compliance services in India built on the same 360° Cyber Resilience approach we've applied for 22 years across BFSI, ed-tech and manufacturing clients.
The DPDP Act, 2023 is India's first comprehensive data protection law, passed by Parliament in August 2023 and operationalised through the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025. It applies to all digital personal data processed in India, and extends to organisations outside India that offer goods or services to individuals in India. The Act defines clear roles - Data Fiduciary (the entity deciding why and how data is processed), Data Processor (an entity processing data on a fiduciary's behalf) and Data Principal (the individual the data belongs to) - plus a category of Significant Data Fiduciary, which carries extra obligations such as appointing a Data Protection Officer and running periodic data protection impact assessments.
Core duties for every data fiduciary include obtaining valid, specific consent before processing, using data only for the purpose it was collected for, implementing reasonable security safeguards, notifying the Data Protection Board and affected individuals of any breach, and erasing personal data once its purpose is served or consent is withdrawn.
As DPDP Act consultants in India, our compliance program is built around what regulators and boards actually ask for:
Benchmarking current data flows, consent mechanisms and retention practices against the DPDP Act and DPDP Rules, 2025.
Redesigning consent capture, withdrawal and consent-manager integration so it's genuinely auditable.
Ongoing guidance delivered through our Advisory Services team, for organisations that don't yet need a full-time Data Protection Officer.
Playbooks and simulations aligned to the Data Protection Board's breach-notification expectations.
Ensuring your third-party processors are contractually bound to DPDP obligations.
Delivered through our Phishing Simulation & Security Awareness programme, so employees understand their role in protecting personal data.
A DPDP gap assessment against your current data flows and controls.
