Digital Data Protection & Privacy Law — DPDP Act and GDPR Compliance Advisory
MirvoLegal advises Indian and global organisations on data protection, privacy governance, and compliance strategy. We help businesses that collect, store, use, disclose, or otherwise process personal data understand and operationalise obligations under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and, where relevant, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
India’s DPDP framework is being implemented in phases under the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025. Organisations should use this period to map data flows, strengthen governance, improve notices and consent mechanisms, and build workable vendor and incident-response processes. We help convert regulatory requirements into proportionate, business-ready controls.
Companies with customers, employees, vendors, or operations connected to the European Union may also need a coordinated GDPR compliance strategy. Our advice considers the interaction between Indian and EU-linked data flows, so legal, technology, HR, product, and commercial teams can make informed decisions.

FAQs
Does the DPDP Act apply to foreign companies?
- It can apply to processing of digital personal data outside India where the processing relates to offering goods or services to individuals in India. Applicability depends on the facts and the organisation’s activities.
Do we need both DPDP and GDPR compliance?
- Possibly. A business with Indian data activities and EU-linked operations, customers, or data flows may need to assess both frameworks. The precise obligations depend on the organisation, processing activities, and jurisdictions involved.
What is a data protection impact assessment?
- A DPIA is a structured assessment that helps identify, evaluate, and mitigate privacy and data-protection risks before or during a processing activity, product launch, or technology deployment.
What happens after a data breach?
- Organisations should activate their incident-response process, preserve evidence, assess the nature and impact of the incident, contain the risk, and obtain timely advice on any notification, communication, remediation, and documentation requirements.
What are the consequences of non-compliance under the DPDP framework?
- The DPDP Act provides for significant monetary penalties, depending on the nature of the non-compliance. The appropriate response is to assess the organisation’s actual data practices and implement proportionate controls early.
