The problem

If your organisation is designated as a Significant Data Fiduciary under Section 10, you must conduct periodic Data Protection Impact Assessments. The Act doesn't tell you what "periodic" means or what a DPIA must contain — and the consultancies that do this work charge ₹15-25 lakh per DPIA. You need a structured, repeatable, internally-runnable DPIA process that produces a defensible artifact at the end.

What you get

Capabilities, not feature toggles

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

01

Templated DPIA workflow

Six-section template covering processing description, necessity and proportionality, risks to rights and freedoms, mitigations, residual risk, and approval. Each section has prompts and examples.

02

Risk register

Identify each risk, score it on likelihood and impact, attach a mitigation, and track the residual risk after mitigation. The register is the heart of the DPIA artifact.

03

Versioning + diff

Every DPIA is versioned. When you re-assess the same processing activity a year later, you can see the diff against the previous version. No more "is this the latest one?".

04

Approver chain

DPIA author → Legal review → DPO sign-off → Independent auditor sign-off (where applicable). Each step records the reviewer, the decision, and the comment.

05

Linked to your data inventory

DPIAs are scoped to specific processing activities from your RoPA. When the processing changes, the linked DPIA is auto-flagged for re-assessment.

06

Audit-ready PDF

Export a DPIA as a single, consistent, board-ready PDF. Same template across the entire organisation — your auditor sees the same shape every time.

How it works

From zero to live in days, not months

  1. 1

    Trigger

    A new processing activity is registered, or an existing one materially changes. AutoCops creates a DPIA draft.

  2. 2

    Author

    Your privacy engineer fills out the six sections, identifies risks, and proposes mitigations.

  3. 3

    Review

    Legal and the DPO review, comment, and approve. Independent auditor reviews where required by Section 10.

  4. 4

    Publish

    The signed DPIA is sealed, versioned, and archived. The PDF is generated and stored.

  5. 5

    Re-assess

    On the configured schedule (annually, or on processing change), AutoCops creates a new draft pre-populated from the previous version.

Common questions

Things buyers ask in the demo

We're not an SDF yet. Should we still do DPIAs?+

Yes. Even if Section 10 doesn't compel you today, DPIAs are the cheapest way to surface risks before they become incidents. The first time you're asked to demonstrate "reasonable security safeguards" under Section 8(5), having a stack of DPIAs is your best defence.
