COMPLIANCE & VERIFICATION

India DPDPA & IS 17428 Assurance

Verify storage limitation policies, run cryptographic audit simulations, and assess your statutory liability.

REGULATORY TIMELINE

DPDPA Regulatory Timeline

Track the development and upcoming enforcement deadlines of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.

August 2023

DPDPA 2023 Enacted

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act is passed by the Parliament of India, establishing data principals' right to erasure under Section 12-13.

November 2025

Draft Rules & Consultation

Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) notifies draft rules, establishing frameworks for retention limits and grievance redressal.

November 2026

Proposed Accelerated Compliance

MeitY stakeholder consultation proposes cutting the compliance transition window down to 12 months for ready organizations, accelerating requirements.

May 2027

Mandatory Substantive Compliance

Full statutory enforcement takes effect. Organizations failing to demonstrate reasonable security safeguards face penalties up to ₹250 Crores.

LIABILITY ASSESSMENT

Assess compliance risks and estimate potential liability exposure under India's privacy act.

COMPLIANCE SCORE
0 / 10
HIGH RISK
STATUTORY LIABILITY
CRITICAL EXPOSURE. Lack of immutable logs leaves the organization open to massive liability. Failure to implement reasonable security safeguards carries statutory penalties up to ₹250 Crores per violation.
*India DPDPA Schedule I establishes maximum penalties of up to ₹250 Crore for failures in implementing reasonable security safeguards.

PROCESS ASSURANCE

IS 17428 Self-Audit Checklist

Assess whether your organization is ready to meet data sanitization and privacy fiduciaries requirements.

Do you have a documented data erasure policy covering end-of-life hardware?
Can you produce device-level erasure records for any decommissioned asset in the last 3 years?
Are your erasure records tamper-proof and independently verifiable?
Do you have a documented process for responding to DPDPA erasure requests within the required timeline?
Is your ITAD vendor generating compliance-grade certificates — not just PDF reports?
Are your erasure records stored in an immutable system that survives vendor transitions?

Significant Regulatory Risk
Immediate action required to avoid non-compliance liabilities.

Next Action Steps:

  • Map all decommission pipelines end-to-end.
  • Ensure your ITAD operator delivers digital, tamper-proof proof of erasure.
  • Switch to cryptographic device-linked certificates rather than manually typed PDFs.

ERASURE SIMULATION

Firmware-Level Erasure Simulator
