The basics

First time evaluating DPDP compliance software?

What is DPDP compliance software?

DPDP compliance software or tool helps organisations meet obligations under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025 — from collecting valid consent and serving notices in scheduled languages to managing data retention, deletion and responding to data principal rights requests.

Why do you need one?

The DPDP Act introduces a wide range of obligations and a DPDP compliance software provides the infrastructure to meet these, so organisations can operationalise compliance without building an entire suite from scratch.

Consentin is the DPDP compliance software built for Indian enterprises.

The entire suite of DPDP services on one platform — consent collection, multilingual notices, withdrawal, retention and deletion orchestration, data principal rights, audit trails and breach notification. Flexible deployment (on-premise and SaaS) suited to Indian regulatory and infrastructure needs.

What is the difference between a Consent Manager and DPDP Compliance Software?

Consent Manager
DPDP Compliance Software

Consent Manager

A Consent Manager helps individuals (Data Principals) manage their consent across multiple platforms/companies. It handles only consent, not retention, deletion, breach notification or the full range of DPDP obligations. Your platform may want to integrate with one, but it can't help you with your complete DPDP compliance.

  • Under Rule 4 of the DPDP Rules, 2025, a Consent Manager is a specific class of intermediary registered with the Data Protection Board.
  • Registration opens 13 November 2026.
  • A Consent Manager acts as a single point of contact for Data Principals to give, review, manage and withdraw consent across multiple Data Fiduciaries — a consent aggregator that sits between individuals and the various companies that process their data.
VS

DPDP Compliance Software

A DPDP compliance software helps companies manage their obligations under the DPDP Act. If you collect personal data from customers, employees or partners, you need a DPDP compliance software.

Section 6 · Consent collection

Collect valid, informed consent across every channel

The Act requires free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent before processing personal data — recorded with a verifiable artefact.

Consent Collect captures consent across web, app, API, IVR and agent-assisted (phygital) flows with a 2-click journey that minimises drop-offs.
Consentin's Audit Trail logs every consent given, withdrawn, notice served and rights request processed in a tamper-proof record.
Generates a signed, timestamped artefact for every customer action — searchable and exportable in case the Data Protection Board asks for proof.

Section 6(4) · Withdrawal of consent

Give customers full control over their consent

Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it. The organisation must cease processing and trigger downstream deletion.

Consentin's Privacy Centre gives customers a self-service interface to view, modify or withdraw their consent.
Customers can access the Privacy Centre on your website, or log into their Consentin account to modify consent or raise requests.

Section 8(7) · Retention & deletion

Manage retention and deletion of data across every system

Data Fiduciaries must erase personal data once the purpose is fulfilled or consent is withdrawn — across every system where that data lives.

Consentin's Retention & Deletion Orchestrator is India's only retention and deletion orchestrator.
Maps where personal data sits across all systems — CRMs, LOS platforms, cloud storage and third-party systems.
Enforces retention policies and sends automated deletion instructions the moment there is a trigger — consent withdrawn, purpose expired, or retention period exceeded.
Event-driven policies, deletion dates, and proof-of-deletion handled automatically — no manual tracking required.

Sections 11–14 · Data Principal rights

Respond to data rights requests quickly and reliably

Data discovery

Scan, classify and map personal data across every source

You need to know what existing personal data you hold, where it sits, and how it flows across your systems.

Consentin Lens runs AI-powered PII detection and data discovery across structured sources (CRMs, databases, core banking systems) and unstructured systems (emails, spreadsheets, cloud drives).
Automatically detects and classifies data categories without manual tagging — feeding auto-populated ROPA Maps so you don't create ROPAs for pre-existing data from scratch.
Can be deployed on-prem so that data never leaves your systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about DPDP Compliance Solutions

What is the difference between GDPR and DPDP?
Three key differences: (1) GDPR has six lawful bases for processing, DPDP has two — consent and "certain legitimate uses". (2) GDPR penalties are calculated as a percentage of global turnover; DPDP penalties are capped per instance at up to ₹250 crore. (3) GDPR requires a Data Protection Officer for most processors; DPDP does not mandate one for all fiduciaries. Organisations operating in India need India-specific compliance software because GDPR-built tools do not handle DPDP consent artefacts, 22-language notice requirements, or the Act's specific retention and deletion obligations. Read the full GDPR vs DPDP comparison.
How do I get DPDP compliant?
Start by mapping where your organisation collects, stores and processes personal data. Assess your current consent flows against the Act's requirements. Once gaps are identified, implement a compliance platform that handles consent collection with artefacts, multilingual notices, rights request management, retention schedules and breach notification. Most organisations begin with consent collection and expand from there. Read our step-by-step DPDP compliance guide.
What compliance tool is required for the DPDP Act?
A DPDP compliance tool — more accurately called DPDP compliance software or a consent management platform — automates the obligations the Act places on Data Fiduciaries: consent collection with verifiable artefacts, withdrawal and rights handling, retention and deletion orchestration, audit logging and breach notification. Consentin is one such platform, built specifically for the Indian Act and Rules.
Is a consent management platform mandatory under the DPDP Act?
The Act does not mandate a specific technology solution — it mandates outcomes: valid consent, artefact records, multilingual notices, easy withdrawal, retention limits, breach notification. In practice, at any meaningful scale, a consent management platform is how organisations meet these obligations without relying on spreadsheets and manual processes that break under volume.
What does DPDP compliance software cost?
Consentin offers a flat annual or quarterly fee with no per-consent or per-storage charges. There is also a free Starter Pack (3,000 consents/month at ₹0, forever) for smaller volumes or live pilots. On-premise deployments are priced based on profiles and data connectors. Book a demo for a specific quote, or see pricing details.
Should we build DPDP compliance in-house or buy a platform?
Building in-house gives full control but requires sustained engineering investment across consent artefacts, multilingual rendering, retention orchestration, audit logging and breach workflows. The Rules are also evolving — the Board's guidance and enforcement patterns will require ongoing updates. Most organisations find a purpose-built platform faster to deploy (weeks, not quarters), cheaper to maintain and more defensible in an audit.
Does the DPDP Act apply to data collected before the Rules were notified?
Yes. The Act applies to personal data collected before the Rules came into force if that data is still being processed in digital form. Organisations must provide a notice to existing Data Principals and allow them to withdraw consent. This retrospective applicability is why compliance timelines are tight. Read more on legacy data obligations.
