The challenges Indian businesses face
Most businesses are still not ready for DPDPA: Awareness exists, but execution is lagging across the controls, documentation, and workflows the law will require.
If you cannot find personal data, you cannot protect it: Data discovery is the starting point for every other DPDP control. Without it, personal data cannot be classified, protected, or used to respond to requests properly.
Without DLP, sensitive data can leave the business unchecked: Employees can share Aadhaar, PAN, bank, and customer records externally without control. IBM found shadow AI added an average of ₹1.79 crore to breach costs in India, with only 42% of organisations having policies to detect or govern it.
Labels may exist in the tenant, but not in the real world: Sensitivity labels are often available but not rolled out consistently, leaving personal data created, shared, and stored without the classification needed to trigger the right controls.
Retention and erasure requirements pull in opposite directions: DPDPA requires personal data to be erased after purpose, but consent records must be preserved for seven years, a conflict that cannot be handled manually at scale.
Most organisations are not ready to handle data subject requests: DPDPA grants rights to access, correct, and erase data, with grievances resolved within 90 days. Most businesses still lack a structured process to find, validate, route, and respond on time.
