Our framework at Cyborgenic is built on the seven principles recognized by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY):
Compliance begins with a clear inventory of all personal data collected and processed. Our Data Privacy Audit Services provide a comprehensive diagnostic of your current workflows, ensuring your “Notice and Consent” mechanisms are technically aligned with the DPDP Act’s requirements for clear and granular user permission.
The Indian government expects Data Fiduciaries to implement “reasonable security safeguards” to protect against data exfiltration. Our VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) services provide the technical validation needed to secure your databases and APIs, serving as critical evidence of due diligence in the event of an investigation by the Data Protection Board.
Under the DPDP Act, failure to report a personal data breach can result in massive financial penalties. Cyborgenic’s Managed SOC provides 24/7 monitoring and automated incident response, ensuring that any unauthorized access is detected and neutralized instantly, allowing your team to fulfill mandatory reporting obligations with forensic accuracy.
For organizations operating across borders, managing local laws alongside international mandates is complex. By achieving ISO 27701 Certification, you establish a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that naturally incorporates India’s DPDP requirements, providing a unified, gold-standard framework that is recognized by global partners and the Board of Directors.

The Government notifies certain entities as SDFs based on the volume of data they process, the risk to the rights of individuals, and the potential impact on India’s sovereignty. SDFs have additional burdens, including appointing a resident DPO, conducting independent audits, and performing Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).
Yes, the Act generally allows transfers unless the Central Government “blacklists” specific countries. However, some sectors like Finance (RBI) and Health may have specific localization mandates that we can help you navigate.
A Consent Manager is a specialized entity (registered with the DPBI) that acts on behalf of the individual to give, manage, and withdraw consent through an interoperable platform. CYBORGENIC helps you integrate your backend with these platforms.
While the Government may notify specific exemptions for certain startups regarding notice and retention, the core obligations of data security and preventing breaches apply to every entity, regardless of size.
