DPDP Act Compliance for Indian Banks & Enterprises

A KGreen compliance solution

Consent at the front door, data-centric security at the core — a defensible, auditable route to DPDP Act 2023 compliance.

Overview

What is the DPDP Act, 2023?

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act), 2023 is the country's first comprehensive data-protection law. It governs how organisations — Data Fiduciaries — collect, store, process and share the personal data of individuals (Data Principals), and it carries penalties of up to ₹250 crore for non-compliance. Every bank, NBFC, insurer, hospital and enterprise handling Indian personal data must now demonstrate lawful consent, data minimisation, strong security safeguards and the ability to honour data-principal rights.

KGreen helps organisations move from DPDP awareness to DPDP readiness — combining data-centric security, consent management and data discovery into one practical compliance path.

Key Obligations

What the DPDP Act requires

Lawful consent

Collect personal data only with clear, informed, revocable consent — and be able to prove it for every processing purpose.

Data minimisation & purpose limitation

Collect only what is necessary, use it only for the stated purpose, and retain it no longer than needed.

Security safeguards

Protect personal data with reasonable technical and organisational measures against breach, leakage and unauthorised access.

Data-principal rights

Enable individuals to access, correct, erase and grieve — and to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.

Breach notification

Detect, contain and report personal-data breaches to the Data Protection Board and affected individuals.

Accountability

Maintain records, appoint responsibilities, and be able to demonstrate compliance on demand.
