General Data Protection Regulation Compliance Consultancy

GDPR Certification & Audit Consultancy in India

The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any Indian company that processes personal data of EU residents — the fines for non-compliance reach €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. Our GDPR compliance consultants help Indian IT, BPO, healthcare and e-commerce companies achieve and maintain compliance.

Overview

What is GDPR?

GDPR is the European Union's comprehensive data protection law (Regulation 2016/679). It governs how organizations collect, process, store and transfer personal data of EU residents. For Indian companies serving EU clients, GDPR compliance is not optional — it is a legal requirement and a key commercial prerequisite.

  • BPOs and KPOs processing EU resident data

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions — GDPR in India

Yes. GDPR applies to any organization — including Indian companies — that processes personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the company is based. This is known as the "extraterritorial effect" of GDPR.

Both regulate personal data processing, but DPDP applies to Indian residents' data while GDPR covers EU residents. We help organizations achieve simultaneous compliance with both laws, sharing common controls where possible.

A DPO is required under GDPR for public authorities, organizations doing large-scale systematic monitoring, or large-scale processing of special category data. Many Indian IT companies processing EU data appoint a DPO voluntarily as good practice. We offer virtual DPO services.

Tier 1 infringements (e.g. lack of consent mechanism): up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover. Tier 2 (e.g. basic principles violations): up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover — whichever is higher.
