A Third-Party Data Sharing Risk Score assesses the compliance risk of sharing personal data with partners, vendors, analytics platforms, and marketing tools under the DPDP Act 2023. Every third party receiving personal data must be covered by a Data Processing Agreement, and sharing for unauthorised purposes is a violation. This scorer evaluates your current vendor ecosystem and identifies the highest-risk sharing relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Must every third party have a DPA under DPDP?+
Yes. Data fiduciaries must ensure that data processors (third parties processing data on their behalf) have signed a Data Processing Agreement covering DPDP obligations.
What if a third-party vendor refuses to sign a DPA?+
Consider whether that vendor is essential. If so, escalate to their legal team. DPDP makes the fiduciary responsible for processor breaches — vendors who refuse DPAs represent a significant liability.
Does DPDP cover all third-party data sharing or only processors?+
DPDP covers all sharing of personal data. Processors (who process on your behalf) need DPAs. Other third parties (like advertisers who receive data for their own use) need data principal consent.
