Quick Answer

A DPDP Data Volume Risk Calculator estimates whether your organisation's data processing scale qualifies it as a Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF) under the DPDP Act 2023. SDFs face stricter obligations including mandatory Data Protection Impact Assessments, Data Audits, and appointment of a Data Protection Officer. Volume thresholds are expected in DPDP Rules notifications — this calculator uses draft criteria to assess your current risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does processing more data automatically mean higher penalties?+
Data volume is one factor. The DPDP Board considers volume, sensitivity, intent, and remediation together. Large volume with strong security and good-faith compliance attracts lower penalties.
Should we reduce our data collection to lower risk?+
Data minimisation is a DPDP principle and a practical risk reduction strategy. Collect only what you need. Regularly delete data that is no longer needed.
What is an adequate data security standard under DPDP?+
DPDP requires 'reasonable security safeguards.' Industry practice suggests ISO 27001 or NIST CSF as the baseline. Document your security framework and the rationale for your chosen measures.
