DPDPA Compliance.
Ready Before the Deadline.
A practical platform to manage DPDPA obligations — from consent and data principal requests to breach response, vendor risk and audit-ready reporting.
EPICARP brings you a practical DPDPA compliance solution, built on IntelliRoot’s purpose-built platform.
DATA
DPDPA readiness is an operational challenge,
not just a policy exercise.
Most organisations already collect and process personal data across customers, employees, partners, systems and locations. The difficult part is bringing the responsibilities around that data together in a way that can be managed consistently.
Under the DPDPA, individuals — referred to as Data Principals — have specific rights over their personal data. Organisations need a practical way to manage these requests when they arise.
Instead of managing obligations across disconnected spreadsheets, emails and documents, organisations need a structured way to manage DPDPA activities and the evidence behind them.
Consent
What was agreed to, when, and for what purpose?
Data Principal Rights
Can individual rights requests be received, tracked and closed within the required timelines?
Data Processors
Do you know which vendors process personal data on your behalf?
Breach Response
Is there a clear workflow when a personal-data incident occurs?
Evidence
Can the organisation demonstrate what was done and when?
Ownership
Are responsibilities clear across business, IT and compliance teams?
One Platform. Every DPDPA Obligation.
Consent Management
Capture and track consent with a complete history. Know who consented, to what, and when.
Data Principal Rights
Manage individual rights requests through a tracked queue with SLA visibility and evidence capture.
Breach Response
Support time-bound escalation, notification and evidence tracking so nothing is missed under pressure.
Vendor & Processor Risk
Maintain a registry of data processors with risk scoring and visibility. Know who handles personal data on your behalf.
Audit-Ready Reporting
Generate compliance reports and maintain a clear audit trail. Everything a regulator or internal audit needs, ready when required.
Self-Service Portal
A white-labelled portal for individuals to manage consent and submit rights requests — reducing operational load on your team.
From individual requests to management visibility —

Practical questions. Clear answers.
Explore common questions around DPDPA readiness, assessment, consent management and implementation.
Understanding DPDPA Readiness
01 What is DPDPA Readiness?
DPDPA Readiness is the process of understanding how your organisation collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data, and identifying the gaps that need to be addressed.
A practical readiness exercise looks beyond policies and documentation. It considers people, processes, technology, security, third parties and governance.
02 Does DPDPA apply to our organisation?
Applicability depends on how your organisation processes digital personal data, why the data is processed and the nature of your business activities.
A readiness assessment helps identify important personal-data processing activities and areas that may require operational, technology or legal attention.
03 Do we need to know where all our personal data is stored before starting?
No. Discovering where personal data resides is often one of the first parts of the readiness exercise.
Personal data may exist across CRM systems, HR applications, email, spreadsheets, shared folders, websites, cloud applications and third-party platforms.
You do not need a perfect data inventory before beginning the assessment.
04 Is DPDPA readiness only an IT or cybersecurity activity?
No. DPDPA readiness is an organisation-wide activity.
Personal data may be handled by HR, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, Procurement and other teams in addition to IT.
Effective readiness therefore requires coordination across business, technology, security and governance.
What we review
05 What does Epicarp assess during a DPDPA Readiness engagement?
We assess how personal data currently moves through the organisation and the controls surrounding it.
06 Will you assess our security controls?
Yes. Security safeguards are an important part of protecting personal data.
- Identity and access management
- Authentication and privileged access
- Endpoint and infrastructure protection
- Logging and monitoring
- Backup and recovery
- Incident response preparedness
Where deeper technical validation is required, readiness can be extended with security assessment or VAPT services.
07 How are third-party vendors and cloud applications considered?
Third-party vendors and cloud platforms can form an important part of the organisation's personal-data ecosystem.
We review areas such as what data is shared, why it is processed, who has access, how long it is retained, security responsibilities and key operational dependencies.
10 Is a Consent Management Tool the same as a Consent Manager?
No. They are different concepts.
Consent Management Tool
Technology an organisation may use internally to capture, maintain and govern consent.
Consent Manager
A separately defined entity through which Data Principals may manage their consent.
Moving from assessment to action
11 What happens after the readiness assessment?
The findings should become a practical improvement roadmap rather than simply another compliance report.
Management should be able to understand what requires attention, why it matters, who owns it and what needs to happen next.
12 Can Epicarp help us close the identified gaps?
Yes. A readiness assessment can be followed by practical remediation and implementation support.
- Process improvements
- Policies and supporting documentation
- Consent-management processes
- Workflow automation
- Access-control improvements
- Security remediation
- Data-retention processes
- Request-management workflows
Where specialist legal interpretation is required, the organisation should involve appropriate legal counsel alongside the operational and technology work.
13 How long does a DPDPA Readiness assessment take?
The duration depends on the size of the organisation, number of locations, departments, applications, vendors and complexity of personal-data processing.
We first establish the scope and then define an assessment approach appropriate to the organisation.
14 Does completing a readiness assessment mean we are DPDPA compliant?
A readiness assessment should not be treated as a permanent compliance certificate.
It helps identify gaps, establish priorities and strengthen controls. Privacy compliance remains an ongoing responsibility as systems, vendors and business processes continue to change.
15 We are a small or mid-sized organisation. Where should we start?
You do not necessarily need to begin with a large privacy-transformation programme.
Start by answering a few fundamental questions:
