DPDP Act Compliance with ComplyScore®

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023 requires Data Fiduciaries to conduct thorough due diligence on Data Processors handling personal data of Indian citizens. The Act mandates written contracts, security safeguards, and ongoing monitoring ensuring Data Processors protect personal data appropriately and comply with cross-border transfer restrictions.

ComplyScore® automates Data Processor risk assessments aligned to DPDP requirements, maintains continuous monitoring of data protection practices, and generates audit-ready documentation proving appropriate safeguards throughout vendor relationships.
