You cannot protect personal data you do not know you possess. Our technical privacy specialists conduct deep-dive discovery across your cloud infrastructure, databases, third-party APIs, and departmental spreadsheets to build a statutory Record of Processing Activities (RoPA).
Under the DPDP Act 2023, every processing activity requires a specified lawful purpose (Section 4), documented consent (Section 6) or legitimate use (Section 7), and an explicit retention schedule (Section 8(7)). Without an exhaustive personal data map:
Classification of all data fields (PII, financial, health, children's data) across tables, schemas, and cloud buckets.
Visual architectural diagrams tracing data ingestion from user touchpoints through backend services, third-party APIs, and archiving storage.
Comprehensive Record of Processing Activities mapping data fiduciaries, joint fiduciaries, sub-processors, and legal bases under Section 7.
Defensible retention policies and automated deletion triggers compliant with Section 8(7) once the specified purpose is served.
