DPDPA Compliance Software for India
Sigmify GRC turns DPDPA obligations into executable controls, including consent, Data Principal rights, breach response, and audit ready evidence, all backed by SIEM driven insight and real time monitoring, in one platform.
01
What DPDPA Covers, and Who It Applies To
- DPDP Act, 2023 + DPDP Rules 2025
- Governs how organisations handle Data Principals’ personal data
- Applies to any Data Fiduciary processing data in India, or targeting individuals in India from abroad
02
Breach Reporting Timeline
- Without delay
- 72 hour window from becoming aware
- Notify the Data Protection Board of India and affected Data Principals
03
The Significant Data Fiduciary Trigger
- SDF status notified by the government
- Based on data volume/sensitivity, rights risk, national security
- Brings additional obligations on top of the baseline
Obligation mapping
Every DPDPA Obligation, Mapped to Sigmify GRC Capabilities
Seven obligation areas. Each mapped to a specific platform capability.
Timeline
DPDP Rules 2025: Where India's Compliance Timeline Stands
The DPDP Rules 2025 roll out in phases. Sigmify GRC tracks readiness against each one as it lands, so implementation is sequenced to the actual regulatory clock.
Where things stand
The Regulatory Clock Is Already Running
Seventy two hours. That’s the entire window a Data Fiduciary has, once it becomes aware of a breach, to notify the Data Protection Board of India and every affected Data Principal.
For Significant Data Fiduciaries, that same clock runs alongside DPIA cycles, independent audits, and a standing DPO appointment, not instead of them
None of it arrives at once: DPDP Rules 2025 come into force in phases, so consent notices, breach playbooks, DPIA cycles, and vendor contracts each have their own readiness date
Children’s data adds its own layer: verifiable parental consent is required before processing, with no tracking, behavioral monitoring, or targeted advertising directed at children
Miss any of it, and the exposure is concrete. Fines run up to ₹250 crore for the most serious failures, as determined by the Data Protection Board of India on a case by case basis
Sigmify GRC is built to run inside that clock, not catch up to it after the fact. It turns policy intent into executable controls, automated workflows, and audit ready evidence across all seven obligation areas above.

Inside the platform
How Sigmify GRC Runs Every DPDPA Obligation
The platform behind the obligation map above, module by module.
Framework
Nothing Runs Separately Once It's in the Framework
- Unified Compliance Framework centralizes DPDP Act and DPDP Rules 2025 requirements, controls, and governance in one place
- Integrates with SIEM, HRM, and enterprise systems for compliance monitoring, risk correlation, and audit readiness
Discovery
Knowing Exactly Where a Child's Data Lives Too
- Automatically discovers and classifies personal data across systems, including children’s data requiring parental consent handling
- Enhanced by SIEM, HRM, and data activity tracking for accurate, ongoing visibility
Consent & Rights
Consent That Doesn't Stop at Capture
- Unified platform manages the consent lifecycle and rights requests, including verifiable parental consent for children’s data
- Automated workflows and real time tracking aligned to compliance SLAs
- DPDPA Consent Manager integration plus SLA tracked rights management for access, correction, erasure, grievance redressal, and nomination
Risk
Impact Assessments Built Into the Workflow, Not Bolted On
- Structured DPIA workflows identify, assess, and mitigate risk across high-risk processing, algorithmic decision making, and SDF triggers
- Enriched with SIEM and HRM driven risk signals, event correlation, and continuous risk scoring
Monitoring
Compliance Status You Don't Have to Go Looking For
- Real time monitoring with centralized dashboards, alerts, and KPIs, giving continuous visibility instead of a periodic snapshot
- Integrates SIEM and HRM data across both DPDPA and DPDP Rules 2025 requirements
Vendor Risk
Processor Risk, Contractually Enforced
- Assesses vendor compliance, manages contracts, and monitors third and party data handling with continuous oversight
- Addresses Sec. 8(2), which covers oversight of processors handling personal data on the fiduciary’s behalf, supported by SIEM and HRM insights
Audit
How Is DPDPA Audit Readiness Demonstrated to Regulators?
- Centralized audit workflows, automated evidence collection, and audit-ready documentation, so nothing gets assembled manually when an audit is called
- Plan, execute, and manage audits with automated evidence from SIEM, HRM logs, and enterprise systems
Breach Response
72 Hours, Managed End to End
- Automated workflows, triggered alerts, investigation tracking, and regulatory notification support
- Notification to the Data Protection Board and affected Data Principals within the 72 hour window
- SIEM and HRM triggered alerts and investigation tracking built around the same window
Evidence
The Engine Behind Every Other Module
- Seamless integration with enterprise systems, SIEM, and HRM platforms automatically collects evidence and correlates events
- The underlying engine behind the compliance monitoring, audit, and breach management capabilities above
SDF
What Makes a Data Fiduciary "Significant"?
- Notified by the government based on data volume and sensitivity, risk to Data Principal rights, and national security considerations
- Faces additional obligations: mandatory DPIAs, independent data audits, and appointment of a Data Protection Officer
Coverage
Built for Every Data Fiduciary, Not Just the Notified Ones
- Covers baseline DPDPA compliance requirements for all Data Fiduciaries
- Layers on the additional DPIA, audit, and governance workflows required of Significant Data Fiduciary compliance
Exposure
What Non Compliance Actually Costs
- Penalties scale with breach severity, with fines running up to ₹250 crore for the most serious failures
- Includes inadequate security safeguards and breach notification lapses; determined case by case by the Data Protection Board of India
- Sigmify GRC’s monitoring and audit evidence workflows reduce that exposure by keeping controls demonstrably in place before an incident occurs
