The TrustOS partner programme
Why CA, CS and compliance firms are adding DPDP work for their clients, and how the partner programme works.
In short
What is the TrustOS partner programme?
A programme for chartered accountants, company secretaries, advocates and compliance consultants who run DPDP work for their clients. The firm keeps the client relationship and runs each client in its own TrustOS workspace from a partner console, and firm staff reach a client's data only with access that client grants.

- Appointments are non exclusive.

- Every client signs an End Client Licence Agreement, owns its data and can export its records at any time.

- Your firm remains responsible for the professional advice it gives clients.
The full partner terms are shared with your firm before registration is completed.
Is there a free trial?
No, but the demo workspace is available as soon as your firm activates, so you can show TrustOS to prospective clients from day one.
Do we need a GSTIN to register?
No. If your firm is GST registered, add the GSTIN so it appears on the tax invoice. If it is not, confirm that on the form.
What does certification involve?
A short online assessment on TrustOS and the DPDP Act. You can retake it, and it stays valid for twelve months from the date you pass.
What happens to our clients if we leave?
Each client workspace continues until its renewal date, and every client can export its records at any time.
Where is client data hosted?
On servers in India. The data belongs to the client, and your firm administers it on the client's behalf.
