Free DPDP Readiness Checklist for Indian SMEs.
A 10-minute self-assessment that tells you exactly where your business stands on DPDP readiness — and what to fix first, in what order, with realistic effort estimates.
What's inside
- 32-point checklist across 6 compliance pillars
- Scoring system mapped to DPDP Act obligations
- Prioritized 90-day action list based on your score
- Glossary of key DPDP terms in plain language
- Vendor & employee data quick-screen
- Sample privacy notice opening paragraph
- Breach response decision tree (one-page)
- Bonus: list of 15 questions to ask any DPDP vendor
Why this matters: companies that complete a structured readiness checklist are 3× more likely to close their highest-risk DPDP gaps within a quarter — and dramatically less likely to be blindsided by an enterprise customer's privacy questionnaire.

The Six Pillars
32 questions across the six things that actually matter.
Each pillar is scored independently so you can see where you're strong, where you're exposed, and where to spend first.
Governance & Notice
Privacy notice, data fiduciary classification, internal accountability, board awareness.
Consent Architecture
Capture, granularity, withdrawal, record-keeping, age verification where required.
Data Mapping
Personal data inventory, flow diagrams, retention schedules, purpose limitation.
Vendor & Processor
DPA coverage, sub-processor monitoring, vendor risk register, breach assistance clauses.
Employee Data
HR notice, lifecycle SOPs, monitoring policy, background check handling.
Security & Incidents
Access controls, encryption, breach response playbook, regulator notification path.
Who It's For
Built for the people answering the question.
Startup founders
You need to give your board, investors, and enterprise customers a confident answer to 'are you DPDP compliant?' — without buying a six-figure tool.
COOs and Heads of Compliance
You're being asked to own DPDP without a dedicated team. The checklist gives you the structure to scope work and brief leadership in one sitting.
CA & advisory firms
Your portfolio clients are asking. Use the checklist to triage which clients need urgent help and which can wait a quarter.
About the checklist
Is it really free? What's the catch?+
Genuinely free. We give it away because it's the fastest way for you to understand whether you actually need our paid services. Most companies who complete it figure out 50–70% of their priorities on their own.
How long does it take to complete?+
About 10–15 minutes for a single decision-maker who knows the business. Longer if you need to pull people in to answer specific questions — which itself is a useful signal.
Will my data be shared or sold?+
No. We use your details only to send the checklist and a short follow-up note. You can unsubscribe with one click. Our handling is DPDP- and GDPR-aligned — that's table stakes for us.
Can I use it for client work as a CA or consultant?+
Yes. Many CA firms and consultants use it as a triage tool with their clients. If you want a co-branded or whitelabel version for portfolio rollout, just reply to the email after you download it.
