Close to 70% of Indian professionals surveyed are not very familiar with the DPDP Act and its Rules, according to EY's 2025 readiness survey. Even if the deadline moves, the gap won't close itself. Fines can reach ₹250 crore per violation, and unmapped, unprotected personal data without a consent trail is exactly what puts you at risk.
Most organizations can't locate their personal data, let alone prove how it's handled. The Consent Manager deadline doesn't move.
Scattered across systems with no single record of where it lives.
Collected but not tracked, so it can't be produced on request.
Access, correction and deletion requests are handled manually.
No vaulting or tokenization means one breach exposes raw PII everywhere.
Consent Manager compliance is due on November 14, 2026.
Up to ₹250 crore per violation under Section 33.
Consent needs to be specific, informed, purpose-based, withdrawable and traceable. Build a clear record of what was consented to, when, and how it was withdrawn.
Put strong controls around personal data with encryption, tokenization, access controls and auditability across the systems that handle it.
Make access, correction, deletion and grievance handling defined processes, not requests managed through scattered emails and spreadsheets.
Have the processes, ownership and evidence ready to respond within the required timelines when a breach occurs.
An ideal phased rollout for an estate of 50+ applications, scoped up or down based on your actual footprint.
DPDP Gap Analysis, PII Discovery & Data Mapping, and a consent and breach readiness review.
Vault and tokenization rollout, consent enforcement integration, data migration and backfill.
PBAC tuning, Data Principal rights workflows in production, and audit evidence in place.
Managed services on the privacy stack, quarterly business reviews, and continuous control improvement.
The DPO Co-Pilot is the control plane: cookie consent, consent and preference management, DSAR/DSR workflows, breach management, RoPA registry, DPIA/TIA/LIA automation and vendor risk, each mapped to a DPDPA section and rule. ISO 27001:2022, ISO 20000-1:2018 and ISO 9001:2015 certified; incubated by DSCI, a Nasscom initiative.
Learn more about GoTrustPersonal data is isolated in a purpose-built vault using polymorphic tokenization and encryption. A leaked or stolen token is worthless without the vault, while search, joins and analytics keep working on the tokenized data, so nothing downstream has to be rebuilt around encrypted blobs.

Flentas ran the gap analysis and PII discovery in six weeks and came back with an exposure heatmap and a phased roadmap our board could actually approve. We're not guessing anymore.”
