DPDP Act Compliance Services
Build trust. Protect personal data. Stay compliant.
MAGNELOX helps organizations understand, assess and implement practical data protection controls aligned with India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 and applicable requirements.
Turning Privacy Compliance Into a Strategic Advantage
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 represents a paradigm shift in how organizations operating in India collect, process, secure, and govern personal digital data. Achieving sustainable compliance requires holistic visibility across technical architectures, business workflows, and third-party ecosystems.
What Personal Data is Processed
Identify, classify, and catalogue customer identities, employee files, telemetry, financial data, and personal identifiers across all systems.
Why Data is Processed
Establish clear purpose mapping, lawful processing basis, valid consent mechanisms, and legitimate use frameworks for every processing stream.
Where Data is Stored
Map storage locations across on-premise relational databases, multi-cloud object stores, data lakes, distributed endpoints, and SaaS systems.
Who Has Access
Evaluate identity & access hierarchies, role-based controls (RBAC), privileged access management (PAM), and contractor permissions.
How Long Data is Retained
Review data lifecycle management, statutory retention thresholds, automated purge workflows, and data minimization standards.
Third Parties & Processors Involved
Assess downstream service providers, data processors, cloud hosting vendors, SaaS applications, and third-party API data flows.
Privacy & Security Responsibilities
Define Data Fiduciary accountability, board governance, technical safeguards, employee awareness, and breach notification duties.

From Assessment to Implementation
A phased, disciplined journey engineered to deliver audit-defensible privacy posture and resilient cybersecurity controls.
Understand
Define business context, organizational scope, data categories, and operational goals.
Discover
Catalog data repositories, applications, cloud services, and personal data flow pipelines.
Assess
Evaluate existing security controls, privacy notices, consent mechanisms, and vendor policies.
Identify Gaps
Benchmark findings against DPDP statutory mandates to uncover technical and process gaps.
Prioritize
Classify remediation actions by risk severity, operational impact, and technical feasibility.
Implement
Deploy technical safeguards, access controls, encryption, playbooks, and rights workflows.
Validate
Verify operational readiness through simulation, control testing, and documentation review.
Improve
Maintain continuous advisory, periodic posture audits, and adaptation to regulatory updates.
DPDP Implementation Framework
Six foundational pillars that ensure end-to-end coverage across data lifecycles, operational teams, and governance controls.
Data Inventory & Flows
Understand what personal data exists and where it moves across internal applications, databases, and third-party services.
Lawful Grounds & Notices
Understand why data is collected and processed, ensuring transparent privacy notices, valid consent, and lawful processing basis.
Ownership & Accountability
Define responsibilities, data ownership, access permissions, and ongoing privacy awareness across all organizational roles.
Privacy-Aware Operations
Build privacy-aware operational workflows, consent lifecycle management, and Data Principal rights fulfillment processes.
Technical & Operational Safeguards
Implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards including encryption, IAM, vulnerability management, and incident response.
Evidence & Governance Records
Maintain verifiable evidence, audit logs, risk registers, processing documentation, and governance records for accountability.
Privacy Needs Security
Compliance cannot exist without robust cybersecurity controls. Below are technical assessment and support areas evaluated depending on engagement scope:
Identity & Access Management
Least privilege, MFA, role-based access, and privileged access security.
Encryption & Key Management
Data at rest and in transit encryption, key lifecycle, and cryptographic safeguards.
Endpoint Security
EDR, MDM policies, device encryption, and secure workstation posture.
Network Security
Zero trust architecture, network segmentation, firewalls, and secure egress.
Application Security
Secure SDLC, SAST/DAST reviews, API security, and input validation controls.
Cloud Security
CSPM, workload isolation, IAM review, and cloud storage bucket hardening.
Vulnerability Management
Regular vulnerability assessment, patch verification, and remediation tracking.
Security Monitoring
24/7 SIEM/SOC telemetry, threat intelligence, and behavioral anomaly detection.
Logging & Audit Trails
Centralized, immutable access and activity logging for auditable proof.
Backup & Recovery
Resilient backup immutability, disaster recovery testing, and data availability.
Incident Response
Playbooks, containment procedures, and rapid breach notification mechanisms.
Data Loss Prevention
Egress filtering, sensitive data discovery, and exfiltration prevention.
* Assessment and implementation support areas are tailored based on the agreed organizational engagement scope.
