Why it matters

Notify or face penalties

Section 8(6) of the DPDP Act requires Data Fiduciaries to notify the Data Protection Board and affected Data Principals of any personal data breach. The notification must be made promptly — with no statutory grace period defined, the risk of delay is high.

From detection to notification in minutes

PrivacyLedger integrates with your SIEM, DLP, and cloud security tools to detect breach events in real time. Our classification engine determines which breaches require DPB notification and auto-generates the required notification in DPB-prescribed format.

Evidence and post-breach management

Beyond notification, PrivacyLedger maintains a detailed breach timeline, affected-data inventory, and containment actions log. This evidence package is critical for demonstrating due diligence to the DPB and avoiding enhanced penalties.
