Timeline and cost factors

DPDP Compliance Services for Indian and Global Companies
Our DPDP compliance services are built for companies that handle digital personal data in India, whether you're based here or serving Indian customers from abroad. As part of our DPDP Act compliance consulting, we start by mapping what personal data you hold and why, then check your practices against the DPDP Act and Rules, and fix the gaps: consent and notice flows (including withdrawal), rights and grievance handling, processor contracts, security safeguards and a breach response procedure. If you may be notified as a Significant Data Fiduciary, we plan for those extra duties early.
Readiness commonly takes 2 to 6 months, depending on how much personal data you process, how many products and systems are involved, and whether children's data is in the mix. The DPDP Rules phase obligations in over time, so we map your timeline to the notified rules and confirm current dates during scoping. We provide consulting and implementation support, not legal opinions, so keep qualified counsel in the loop for legal interpretation.
