DPDP Compliance-in-a-Box for Small and Medium Enterprises
Expert DPDP consulting plus VishwaasAI configured to run your compliance — and prove it. A fixed-scope, fixed-timeline package that takes an SME from gap to defensible compliance in weeks, not quarters.
The gaps Small and Medium Enterprises have
Every business that collects an email, a phone number, or a CV is a Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act 2023. SMEs carry the same legal duty — without a privacy team, tooling, or proof.
No in-house expertise
No DPO, no legal team fluent in DPDP §5–§14. Consent — if recorded at all — lives in spreadsheets.
No tooling
Consent, notices, data-subject requests and breach logs scattered across email, Excel and WhatsApp.
No proof
When the Data Protection Board asks “show me this person's consent and the exact notice they saw,” there is no defensible answer. §6(8) puts that burden on you.
No easy DPO answer
Appointing a competent external DPO is hard — it takes the right selection process and genuine DPDP skill, delivered cost-effectively. Most SMEs simply don't know where to start.
Consulting and implementation — together
Consulting alone leaves you a binder of policies that decay the day the consultant leaves. Software alone leaves you staring at an empty console. We combine both.
Cross Identity expert does the thinking
Gap assessment, lawful-basis mapping, Rule 3 notices, retention and breach policy — the judgment a tool can't supply.
Cross Identity's Vishwaas AI runs it forever
The DPDP-native platform becomes your permanent system of record and cryptographic proof — every obligation, operationalized.
