DPDP Compliance Services
Your Data Is Everywhere. Is It Really Protected?
Customer records. Employee information. Applications. APIs. Cloud systems. Third-party platforms. DPDP compliance starts with knowing where your personal data goes, who can access it, and whether your systems are secure enough to prevent a breach. NuageSEC delivers comprehensive technical DPDP gap assessments and security safeguards across India.
DPDP READINESS
You May Have a Privacy Policy. But Do You Have the Controls?
Most organisations focus on consent forms and privacy notices. But when regulators, enterprise buyers, or auditors look at your systems, they ask: Where is personal data stored? Who has access to it? Can you detect a breach? Are your APIs secure? NuageSEC bridges the gap between privacy policy and technical cybersecurity controls.
Where is our personal data?
Scattered across production databases, S3 buckets, log files, employee endpoints, and third-party SaaS integrations.
Who has access to it?
Internal teams, contractors, privileged administrators, API service accounts, and automated batch scripts.
What happens if it is exposed?
Statutory fines up to ₹250 Crores, loss of client trust, termination of enterprise contracts, and brand degradation.
Can we detect unauthorised access?
Lack of centralised audit logging, missing SIEM alerts, and unmonitored administrative privilege misuse.
Can we remove it when required?
Inability to locate all instances of personal data across archives, backups, and microservice databases upon request.
Can we prove our controls are working?
Absence of verifiable security assessments, missing penetration test evidence, and lack of audit documentation.

Reasonable Security Safeguards Under DPDP Rules 2025
The DPDP Rules 2025 require organizations to maintain reasonable security safeguards across eight key domains to prevent personal data breaches.
Encryption
Protection of digital personal data in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) using modern cryptographic standards and secure KMS keys.
Access Control
Enforcement of least privilege, strict RBAC, mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM).
Logging & Monitoring
Centralised audit logging and SIEM integration to detect, alert on, and investigate unauthorised data access and anomalies in real time.
Backup & Resilience
Immutable, encrypted backups, validated disaster recovery procedures, and redundancy to guarantee personal data availability.
Data Minimisation
Identifying data retention policies, enforcing automated lifecycle rules, and purging personal records that are no longer lawful to keep.
Incident Response
Documented playbooks for detecting, containing, investigating, and reporting personal data breaches to CERT-In and DPBI.
Application & API Security
Regular vulnerability testing and penetration testing (VAPT) across web, mobile, and APIs to prevent unauthorized exposure.
Processor Verification
Verifying third-party vendors, SaaS tools, and Data Processors to ensure they uphold equivalent technical security safeguards.
