The monitoring layer your DPDP obligations assume you have.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 requires every Data Fiduciary to take ‘reasonable security safeguards’ and to detect and report a personal-data breach fast. Hello SOC is the 24×7 detection and evidence layer that turns that legal requirement into an operational one — with the audit trail the Data Protection Board expects.
- →Reasonable security safeguards, running 24×7 and evidenced
- →Personal-data-breach detection with a full incident timeline
- →Notification templates aligned to CERT-In and the DP Board
- →Per-tenant retention so your evidence survives the audit cycle
DPDP Act 2023 — what we cover
Honest mapping against the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Hello SOC is a monitoring and evidence layer — areas marked Partial need a control from your team, and Out of scope items are governance or application obligations that stay with the Data Fiduciary. DPO-ready.
| DPDP obligation | Coverage | How Hello SOC delivers it |
|---|---|---|
| Security safeguards (Sec. 8(5)) | In scope | 24×7 detection across firewalls, servers and identity — brute-force, exposed-admin, threat-intel hits triaged per tenant. |
| Personal-data-breach detection | In scope | Rules for mass export, anomalous access and exfil patterns; confirmed events raised as incidents with a full timeline. |
| Breach notification readiness | In scope | Incident rollup + CERT-In / Data Protection Board-formatted notification template, so the 72-hour clock starts with evidence in hand. |
| Logging & audit trail | In scope | Per-tenant log ingestion with plan-driven retention and an immutable audit timeline for every incident and response action. |
| Access monitoring | In scope | SSH / portal / mail auth watched for brute-force and impossible-travel; unusual access to data stores surfaced. |
| Data-retention evidence | Partial | We enforce retention on the logs we hold and evidence it; retention of the underlying personal data stays in your application and DB. |
| Consent management (Sec. 6) | Out of scope | Consent capture, notice and withdrawal live in your product / CMP. Pair with a consent-management platform. |
| Data-principal rights (Sec. 11–14) | Out of scope | Access, correction and erasure request handling is an application workflow. We do not process rights requests. |
| Data-Protection Officer duties | Out of scope | Appointing and running the DPO function is your organisation’s obligation; we equip them with monitoring evidence. |
| Data Protection Impact Assessment | Out of scope | DPIAs for Significant Data Fiduciaries are a governance artefact. We supply the technical-controls evidence they cite. |

What a Data Fiduciary gets on day one
‘Reasonable safeguards’, demonstrable
The Act does not define the control list — a regulator judges outcomes. A live 24×7 SOC with an audit trail is the strongest evidence of reasonable safeguards you can show.
Breach clock starts with evidence
Detection, triage and a formatted notification template mean that when a personal-data breach happens, you report on time with facts — not a scramble to reconstruct what occurred.
Evidence built for the DP Board
Weekly digests and a signed monthly PDF give your DPO a standing record of safeguards, incidents and response — ready if the Data Protection Board asks.
