Vendor Risk Management

Your Data, Their Responsibility.

Under the DPDPA 2023, the Data Fiduciary remains primarily responsible for any breach caused by a third-party processor. Securing your supply chain is no longer optional.

Processor Accountability

Detailed breakdown of how to legally bind your data processors to the same standards of protection as your own organization.

Vendor Audits

Guidelines on performing technical and operational audits of third-party systems to verify their compliance claims.

Sub-Processor Visibility

Ensuring you have transparency into the 'fourth-party' ecosystem and that your consent notices reflect these data flows.

Mitigation Strategy

1. Technical Isolation

Implementing VPC peering and encryption at rest for all data shared with third parties.

2. Contractual Back-to-Back

Mirroring DPDPA obligations in all vendor agreements to ensure seamless liability pass-through.
