Compliance Approach

What is 360 DPDP Compliance?

360 DPDP compliance means you can show evidence from every angle for any data flow: the notice the user saw, the consent record, the system behaviour, the vendor contract, and the grievance or breach log.

In one line

360 DPDP compliance means you can show evidence from every angle for any data flow: the notice the user saw, the consent record, the system behaviour, the vendor contract, and the grievance or breach log.

Simple example

The Board asks an e-commerce company about one customer complaint. 360 compliance means the company can produce, within a day, the notice shown at checkout, the timestamped consent, the deletion job log, the courier contract, and the grievance ticket with its 15-day response.

Why it matters

Vendors use "360 visibility" to mean a dashboard. The Board means proof. Visibility without a dated, exportable record is a screenshot. The programme is done when the evidence exists, and the readiness opinion is signed against it.

What to check

1

For any one flow, can we produce the notice, the consent record, the system log, the contract, and the grievance record?

2

Is each piece dated and exportable?

3

Who signs that the evidence holds?

4

How long does it take to assemble? A day is good. A month means the evidence is missing.

Common mistake

Treating a dashboard screenshot as evidence. The Board asks for records, with dates.

First useful action

Pick one real complaint or request from the last year and try to assemble all five pieces of evidence today. Sanctum by Meridian Bridge Strategy ends with a written readiness opinion against exactly this evidence: see the Sanctum programme

If this is still fuzzy, do this

Run one real data journey through your business. Do not start with legal language. Start with the person, the form, the tool, the vendor, the message, and the deletion point.
