What does a CIO need for DPDP compliance? A CIO needs to bring the IT estate into DPDP Act 2023 compliance: a data-governance framework, a map of which systems hold personal data, a policy set (access, retention, logging, change control), and clear accountability via a RACI. Because personal data lives across applications, databases, SaaS tools and backups, the CIO is central to meeting the Act's security, retention and rights obligations. This pack gives the CIO that operating framework.
A data-governance framework, system-scope inventory, policy set and RACI so the CIO can bring the whole IT estate into DPDP compliance.
1.1 A framework that connects DPDP obligations to IT controls: what personal data you hold, where it lives, who can access it, how long you keep it, and how you would prove all of this.
1.2 Built so the CIO can delegate clearly and evidence the 'reasonable security safeguards' expected under Section 8 of the DPDP Act.
2.1 A method to classify every application, database, SaaS tool and backup by whether it holds personal data, its sensitivity, and its owner — the foundation of everything else.
2.2 Turns a sprawling estate into a prioritised, governable list.
Based on your selections, the full pack foregrounds:
Personal data does not sit in one place — it spreads across core applications, databases, SaaS subscriptions, data lakes and backups. Meeting the DPDP Act's obligations on security, retention, access and Data Principal rights therefore runs straight through the CIO's domain.
Without governance, the IT estate is a blind spot: unknown systems, stale data, over-broad access and unmonitored SaaS. This pack gives the CIO a structured way to find personal data, control it, and prove it — the essence of DPDP accountability.
