See where DPDP work stands without asking five people
Directors, the DPO and internal audit are accountable for DPDP compliance but rarely do the work themselves. TrustOS shows them what is done, what is late and who owns it, and lets them check the evidence behind any item.

What worries this team
The questions that keep coming back

Status reports built from spreadsheets
Before each board meeting someone collects updates from legal, IT and operations into a slide. Every team marks itself green. Nobody can tell from the slide whether the erasure backlog at the NBFC is ten requests or four hundred.
Evidence that cannot be found
An internal auditor samples twenty consent withdrawals from the last quarter and asks for proof that each one reached the SMS vendor. The proof exists somewhere, in logs and email threads, and assembling it takes two weeks.
Dates that are still moving
Most Data Fiduciary duties begin around May 2027 as notified, unless amended, and MeitY has consulted on bringing that forward. Management has to plan a programme without knowing for certain how much time is left.
A week in TrustOS
What the work looks like
- Step 1Review the monthly positionThe DPO opens the overview before the risk committee: open rights requests by age, purposes with no recorded ground, processors with contract gaps and overdue safeguard tasks. Each number opens the list of items behind it.
- Step 2Test a sample as an auditor wouldInternal audit picks twenty closed erasure requests at random. Each one shows the request, the identity check, legal's decision, the actions confirmed in connected systems and the reply sent. Exceptions are noted against the request itself.
- Step 3Export an evidence packFor the audit committee, the DPO exports an evidence pack for breach response covering the last two incidents. The pack can be verified cryptographically, so a reader can tell whether anything was changed after export.
- Step 4Chase the work that is lateThree processor reviews are past due. The DPO reassigns one, adds a comment to the other two and sets a new date. The change is logged, so the next review shows both the delay and the response to it.

Questions
Asked by teams like yours
Can an external auditor get access?
Yes. You can give an auditor read access to chosen areas for a set period, or share evidence packs for the items they sample. Their access is logged like anyone else's.
Does TrustOS tell us whether we are compliant?
No. It shows what work has been done, by whom and with what evidence. Whether that meets the DPDP Act for your business is a judgement for your DPO, your lawyers and, if you are notified as a Significant Data Fiduciary, your independent data auditor.
Can we start before the full deadline applies?
Yes, and most organisations do. A common order is inventory and notices first, then rights requests and consent, then connectors and breach response, with management reporting running from the first phase.
