India's DPDP Act — made visible, mapped to your live assets.
Obligations, who it applies to, and a step-by-step readiness path. PostureGuard maps every clause to the assets that satisfy or fail it — continuously.
What the Act requires of you.
Six core obligation areas every data fiduciary must address. Significant Data Fiduciaries carry additional duties.
Security safeguards
Implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to prevent personal data breaches.
Purpose limitation
Process personal data only for the consented purpose. No secondary use without fresh consent.
Data accuracy
Ensure personal data is accurate, complete, and kept up to date to the extent necessary.
Retention limits
Erase personal data once the purpose is fulfilled or consent is withdrawn. No indefinite storage.
Breach notification
Notify the Data Protection Board and affected principals in the event of a personal data breach.
DPIAs & audits (SDFs)
Significant Data Fiduciaries must conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments and periodic audits.
How to get ready — in order.
