Discussion - What Are the Biggest Challenges for Corporates in Implementing DPDP Compliance?
With the DPDP Act coming into focus, many enterprises are struggling to move beyond policy documents and actually implement compliance in real operations. One of the biggest challenges is identifying the right framework—understanding what personal data needs protection, where it resides, and how it flows across internal systems and third-party vendors.
Additional challenges include breach reporting timelines, consent management, and clearly defining internal roles and responsibilities. On top of this, the cost of tools, audits, and process changes makes DPDP compliance particularly difficult for SMEs, which often lack dedicated privacy or security teams.
What challenges are you facing in your DPDP journey? Is it data discovery, reporting, budgeting, or something else? How are you planning to address it? Sharing real experiences could help others navigate this transition more effectively.
