DPDP Compliance Assessment and Advisory Services
Geopits assesses where personal data is stored across your databases and checks whether it is protected as required by the DPDP Act. Within 2 to 4 weeks, the organisation receives a personal data inventory, a risk-scored gap report and a prioritised roadmap to close each gap.
Why DPDP Compliance Depends on the Database ?
Most organisations have started implementing DPDP with privacy notices and consent banners. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 goes further. It asks five questions that only the data layer can answer.
Where is our personal data?
A clear record of where data is held, like production, replicas, backups and test environment.
Is it protected?
Reasonable security safeguards, including encryption, masking, and least privilege access
Who accesses it?
The access log needs to be maintained for at least one year through audit settings, log retention and access alerts.
Can a breach be reported on time ?
A detailed report to be given to the Data Protection Board within 72 hours.
Do we delete data on time?
Erase data when consent is withdrawn, through retention and purge activities.

Every table holding names, phone numbers, emails, Aadhaar, PAN & other sensitive information.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does DPDP compliance become mandatory?
Most core obligations apply from around May 2027. Fixing gaps takes months, so it's best to start now.
We already have a privacy policy. Isn't that enough?
A policy says what you'll do. The Act expects you to actually protect, log and delete personal data, and much of that happens in your databases.
Will this affect our production systems?
No. We use read-only access and schedule the work around your peak hours.
Does our data leave our environment?
No. We record only metadata, such as table and column names, never customer records.
What happens after the assessment?
You can act on the roadmap with your own team, or let Geopits handle remediation and ongoing management.

A 30-minute call with a senior Geopits Engineer to review your organisation’s database setup and discuss where DPDP gaps are most likely to sit. No obligation.
The privacy policy is the promise. The database is the proof. Geopits gets that proof ready before the Data Protection Board comes asking.
