DPDP Control Assessment

Pre-loaded DPDP control framework, assigned to owners, with status, evidence, and overdue tracking.

The problem

The DPDP Act doesn't come with a list of controls. You have to derive them yourself by reading the Act, the Rules, and the relevant sectoral guidance — and then assign each control to an owner, set a cadence, attach evidence, and keep the whole thing alive. Most teams either skip this step entirely or build a 200-row spreadsheet that nobody updates.

What you get

Capabilities, not feature toggles

Every capability below is a working part of the AutoCops application — not a roadmap promise.

01

Pre-loaded control framework

200+ DPDP-derived controls organised by category (governance, consent, rights, breach, vendor, retention, training). Each control has a description, a risk weight, an owner role, and an evidence type.

02

Owner assignment

Assign each control to a named human in your organisation. The control owner sees their controls in their personal dashboard and is responsible for evidence and status updates.

03

Status workflow

Each control moves through Not Started → In Progress → Implemented → Verified → Compliant. Movement requires evidence at each step.

04

Evidence repository

Attach screenshots, documents, configuration exports, screenshots of policy text — anything that demonstrates the control is operating. Evidence is hash-stamped and immutable.

05

Overdue alerts

Each control has a re-verification cadence. AutoCops nudges the owner when verification is due and escalates to the DPO when it's overdue.

06

Executive rollup

The dashboard rolls control status up to a category percentage and an overall posture score. The board sees one number; the operators see the underlying detail.

How it works

From zero to live in days, not months

  1. 1

    Load the framework

    AutoCops ships with the DPDP control framework pre-loaded. Tailor it to your organisation by removing controls that don't apply.

  2. 2

    Assign owners

    For each control, assign a named owner. They get an email with their starting checklist.

  3. 3

    Implement and evidence

    Owners progress controls through the workflow, attaching evidence at each step.

  4. 4

    Verify

    An independent verifier (often the DPO or an internal audit function) reviews and accepts the evidence.

  5. 5

    Maintain

    The framework re-verifies on the configured cadence. Drift is surfaced before it becomes an audit finding.

Common questions

Things buyers ask in the demo

Can I add my own controls outside the DPDP set?+

Yes. The framework is extensible. Many teams add ISO 27001, SOC 2, or sector-specific controls (RBI master directions for banks, IRDAI guidelines for insurers) alongside the DPDP set, with the same owner-evidence-verification workflow.
