Bridging the gap between legal recommendations and engineering execution
Identifying statutory gaps is only the beginning. The most challenging phase of compliance is operationalising controls without stalling product releases or introducing excessive friction to user registration funnels.
3 Arrows Consulting works shoulder-to-shoulder with your developers, product managers, and internal operations leads. We provide exact language, UX wireframe guidance, database schema suggestions, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that turn DPDP mandates into everyday operational workflows.
Core implementation workstreams
-
Workstream 1: Privacy Notice & Consent UI Overhaul
We draft unbundled, plain-language privacy notices aligned with Section 5. We help UI/UX designers restructure registration flows, checkout pages, and lead forms so consent is explicit, itemized, and backed by timestamped audit logs.
-
Workstream 2: Data Principal Rights Fulfillment Pipeline
We establish a verifiable workflow for handling access, correction, erasure, and grievance requests under Section 12 and 13. We design ticketing workflows, identity verification checks, and response templates with clear SLA tracking.
-
Workstream 3: Retention Schedules & Data Deletion SOPs
Under Section 8(7), personal data must not be held indefinitely. We establish business-wide retention matrices, distinguishing statutory record-keeping mandates from operational data, and guide database engineers on implementing soft and hard deletion pipelines.
-
Workstream 4: Subprocessor & Vendor DPA Execution
We provide a standardized, balanced Data Processing Addendum (DPA) tailored to Indian DPDP requirements. We assist procurement and legal teams in executing binding DPAs across third-party cloud hosts, marketing SaaS, and outsourced service providers.
-
Workstream 5: Security Safeguards & Access Hardening
Collaborating with DevOps, we review access hierarchies to ensure personal customer databases are not broadly accessible across internal staff. We review multi-factor authentication (MFA), audit logging, and encryption baselines.
Implementation verification & assurance letter
Once implementation sprint items are completed, our senior advisory team conducts a verification audit. We inspect implemented controls, test rights request routing, and issue an Executive Assurance Letter summarizing implemented safeguards for your board, enterprise buyers, and external auditors.
