Module 1 of 12 · DPDP Readiness

Know exactly where you stand.

Your DPDPA compliance journey starts with the truth.

Before you can fix anything, you need to see everything. DataRakshaq's Gap Assessment module gives you a clear, honest picture of where your organisation stands against DPDPA requirements — right now, not after months of consultants and spreadsheets. Answer a structured questionnaire, and our engine maps your current practices against every obligation under the Act. You get a prioritised action plan, not just a report. Red flags are flagged. Quick wins are called out. And your DPO gets something they can actually present to leadership.

FAQs

Answers about Gap Assessment

The questions buyers, DPOs and engineering teams ask us most.

Most teams finish the structured questionnaire in 45–60 minutes. Larger organisations with multiple business units complete it in 2–3 sessions. The platform then generates your readiness report instantly.

Usually your DPO, IT/security lead and a representative from legal or compliance. The questions span policy, technology and operations, so a single team rarely has the full picture.

Yes. Every answer, supporting document and weighting is logged with timestamps and the assessor's identity — producing a tamper-evident record that satisfies the DPDP Act's accountability principle.

Absolutely. Most clients re-run it quarterly to track maturity over time. The platform compares scores period-over-period and highlights what improved or regressed.

Yes — anonymised industry benchmarks are computed across sector (BFSI, Healthcare, Fintech, etc.) so you can see where you stand relative to comparable organisations.

Each remediation item is tagged with estimated effort (S/M/L) and a recommended owner. Cost estimates are available as an add-on for clients on the Enterprise plan.

Yes. You can structure the assessment by entity, by business unit, or by jurisdiction — and roll results up to a group-level readiness score.

Reports are board-ready PDF/PPT exports with an executive summary, traffic-light dashboard, prioritised roadmap and quarterly review cadence.

All uploaded evidence (policies, screenshots, certificates) is encrypted with AES-256 at rest, access-controlled via RBAC, and retained for the duration of your engagement plus 7 years.

No. Gap Assessment is self-contained. It's the recommended starting point — its output drives the rollout plan for the rest of the platform.
