DPDPA Compliance is a complex process which requires discovery of personal data to which the act is applicable, Classifying it appropriately, understanding how the different sections of the Act apply to the data and determining what risks of non compliance exists, what Governance and Technical measures are to be initiated to mitigate the risks.
Many companies might have already initiated some measures in this regard. Many companies are developing products and services to assist the companies for compliance.
In this scenario, FDPPI as the apex organization promoting DPDPA Compliance has initiated a project to provide One free assessment of DPDPA Compliance for any Company in India per week (Till the scheme is withdrawn at its discretion).
The assessment requires one online session of around 90-120 minutes with the DPO or equivalent senior management person who may be assisted by others in the company. During the session, Naavi will conduct an online evaluation interview with appropriate questions and record the answers.
Based on the answers provided, an evaluation report would be issued.
The evaluation would be based on the celebrated DGPSI system used by FDPPI.
There are no strings attached to this free offer which is a near substitute for a Gap Assessment which would normally cost a few lakhs for any company.
The offer is based on requests received and on first cum first served basis. Once the requests are received, the interviews would be scheduled appropriately. Initially around 12 bookings would be accepted for the next 3 months and a decision will be taken on its continuance.
We invite interested DPOs to contact through email to Naavi . Kindly use the subject line “Free DPDPA Assessment”.

P.S: I have received a query about why FDPPI is giving this assessment free even if it is for one company per week.
I would like to state that there are two objectives.
- To remove the fear about DPDPA Compliance.
- To prevent companies being mislead.
- To provide an indication for Cyber Insurance readiness for DPDPA risk
