For the DPO
DPDP obligations tracked like controls, not like emails
Data protection is a control programme, not a correspondence file. Compli-Once runs it beside your security frameworks and lets the two share evidence wherever the obligation is genuinely the same.
Questions you can answer on demand
- What proportion of our data-protection obligations are met by controls already in place?
- Which processing activities have no lawful basis or retention rule recorded?
- Which processors hold personal data, at what criticality, last assessed when?
- If a personal-data breach were confirmed now, what does the notification timeline look like?
Each answer drills to the control, the evidence, the owner and the date.
Today
Monday morning, before Compli-Once
Consent records in one system, the data inventory in a sheet, the processor list in procurement's inbox, and the board asking if you are DPDP-ready. "Ready" currently means "we think so."
Readiness becomes an opinion
Without modelled controls, DPDP readiness is a view held by whoever last read the Act, and it cannot be evidenced to a board or a regulator.
The inventory drifts
A processing record kept in a spreadsheet is accurate on the day it is written. Systems change weekly; the sheet does not.
Processors are assessed as an afterthought
When processors sit outside the vendor register, nobody reassesses them, and a lapsed processor attestation surfaces only during a complaint.
After
What changes
DPDP modelled control by control
Beside your security frameworks, sharing their evidence where it applies. DPDP readiness computes from control state, not from opinion.
The data inventory lives in the vault
Processing records linked, versioned and expiry-tracked like every other artifact of proof.
Processors are vendors
Data processors are assessed in third-party risk on evidence through a portal, scored, and reassessed on a cadence.
The number you take upstairs: DPDP control coverage and the gap list with owners.
Your first week
What a proof of concept looks like from your desk
Day 1
Adopt the data-protection framework beside your ISO or SOC 2 programme and read the shared-control overlap.
Day 3
Load the processing inventory into the vault so records are versioned and expiry-tracked like any other proof.
Day 5
Tier your processors in the vendor register and launch one assessment campaign through the portal.

Frequently asked questions
Does DPDP share evidence with ISO 27001?
Yes. Where a control serves both frameworks, its evidence is stored once and linked to both. DPDP-specific obligations carry their own controls where no overlap exists.
How are data-processor assessments run?
Processors sit in the vendor register, tiered by criticality. Campaigns send your questionnaire through a portal, responses score automatically, and reassessment runs on a cadence you set.
