As India awaits the official release of the rules of the DPDP Act, one thing is clear - privacy can no longer be an afterthought for companies.

With the DPDPA, privacy is becoming the foundational principle for how businesses collect, store, and use digital personal data. With companies gearing up for DPDPA compliance, a key focus area has emerged across the board: data governance.

To help companies embrace privacy by design, Privy by IDfy, India's first consent governance suite, has launched Privy Data Compass; a data governance module. This platform enables enterprises to locate, identify, classify, and evaluate digital personal data sitting across their systems. By surfacing these insights, the module helps companies reduce the risk of breaches, ensure proper data disposal, and establish clear accountability for every data point in their ecosystem. This visibility is a critical first step toward enabling explicit consent collection, a key requirement under the upcoming DPDPA framework.
