Privacy operations, run properly.
Rights requests, data maps, DPIAs, breach timelines and cross-border records - the day-to-day work DPDP 2023 actually asks of a Data Fiduciary, in one place instead of five inboxes and a spreadsheet.
Privacy obligations are continuous, not a project.
DPDP duties do not end at a policy document. They recur, they are time-bound, and every one of them needs evidence you can show a regulator.
- Rights requests arrive with a clock on them. A data principal asks for access, correction or erasure. You need to find every copy of their data, act, and prove when you did it.
- Nobody knows where personal data lives. Without a current data map, a DPIA is guesswork and a breach notification is a scramble.
- Breach windows are short and unforgiving. Reporting duties start from awareness, not from when your investigation happens to finish.
- Transfers and processors go untracked. Cross-border flows and processor contracts drift out of date, and the gap only shows up under scrutiny.
Every DPDP duty, with a record behind it.
These are working modules in the Niyam platform, not a roadmap.
Data principal rights
Intake, assignment and closure for access, correction, erasure and nomination requests, with the full timeline retained as evidence.
Data inventory & mapping
Record systems, data categories, purposes and retention in a living map that DPIAs and breach response both read from.
Breach register & timeline
Log awareness, assess severity, track the reporting window and keep the decision trail that shows you met it.
Processing activities & DPIA
Maintain a register of processing activities and run impact assessments against the purposes you have recorded.
Cross-border transfers
Track which data leaves the country, to whom, and on what basis - with the records a regulator would ask for.
DPA & processor management
Keep processor agreements, obligations and review dates against the vendors that actually handle your data.
Grievance redressal
A logged grievance channel with ownership and closure, as the Act requires.
Retention & erasure
Define retention by purpose and evidence that data was erased when its purpose ended.
Children's data
Handle verifiable parental consent as a distinct, gated workflow rather than an exception you remember to make.
From no data map to defensible privacy operations.
Map what you hold
Record your systems, the personal data in them and why you process it. This becomes the single reference every other module reads.
Turn duties into workflows
Rights requests, grievances and breach events get owners, due dates and a closure trail instead of living in email.
Assess before you launch
Run a DPIA against a recorded processing activity, so new products ship with the assessment already done.
Show your work
Every action leaves an evidence record, so a regulator question becomes a report rather than an archaeology project.
What you get out of it.
Privacy operations stop depending on who remembers what, and start producing evidence as a by-product of the work.
- Rights requests closed inside their statutory window, with proof
- A current data map instead of a stale diagram
- Breach decisions and timings recorded as they happen
- DPIAs tied to real, recorded processing activities
- Cross-border and processor records ready for scrutiny
- One evidence trail that serves DPDP, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 at once
Privacy work that counts towards every framework you carry.
Frameworks are what Niyam helps you operationalise. They are not separate products.
Included in the Compliance Platform.
Privacy operations are part of the Niyam Compliance Platform rather than a separate purchase. Start on the free tier and see current plan limits on the pricing page.
Questions about privacy operations.
No. Privacy operations are modules inside the Niyam Compliance Platform. You do not buy them separately, and the free tier includes access so you can see how they work before committing.
Yes. The same records - data map, rights requests, DPIAs, transfer logs - serve GDPR and DPDP, and Niyam maps the shared evidence once rather than twice.
Consent capture, notices and the preference centre are part of Consent & Preferences, which is a separate Niyam product with its own free tier. The two share consent records.
That depends on your scope under the Act. Niyam gives a DPO the tooling and the reporting; if you need the role itself, FlickerBytes offers Virtual DPO support as a service.
