Perfios has introduced the DPDP Suite, a unified platform aimed at assisting businesses in adhering to India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
This platform integrates functions such as data discovery, consent management, handling of rights for data principals, and compliance reporting into one cohesive system.
As organizations in sectors like financial services, healthcare, hospitality, and retail are set to meet a regulatory deadline on 13 May 2027 for full DPDP Act compliance, the launch is timely. The legislation oversees how companies manage personal data of Indian residents, with informed consent being a key requirement.
End-to-end compliance through modular design
The DPDP Suite comprises several interlinked modules including data discovery and classification, automated Records of Processing Activities (RoPA), consent management, rights handling for data principals, cookie consent control, and database activity monitoring. These components are intended to provide a comprehensive record of customer consent throughout the entire lifecycle of data, from initial contact to service termination.
A distinctive aspect of this platform is its support for 22 scheduled languages, ensuring that it can cater to India’s diverse linguistic needs when obtaining consent. It also generates ready-for-audit consent records, allowing businesses to easily produce proof of consent requests from individual customers or specific transactions.
Perfios views the DPDP Suite as specifically tailored for India’s regulatory context and not merely a global tool adapted for local use. Its modular architecture permits companies to implement select features without necessitating a complete system overhaul, and it is designed to adapt to future regulatory changes.
Implementation and context
The DPDP Act, which came into force in 2023, marks India’s first comprehensive data protection law. Its rollout has been staggered, giving businesses until May 2027 to adjust their practices, appoint necessary data protection officers where required, and establish systems for managing rights requests related to personal data, including access, correction, and deletion.
A company representative stated that the platform will help organizations regard consent as an integral part of their data governance policies rather than just a compliance box. They also noted the challenges posed by fragmented consent systems in demonstrating accountability to regulators.
With clear enforcement dates set, there is anticipated growth in demand for structured and auditable compliance solutions across regulated industries in India.
