Wheelhouse (Data protection) · Breach Clocks

CERT-In and DPDP breach clocks, from the moment you became aware.

Two clocks, started from awareness, not from the alert. A breach in India starts two deadlines under two different laws. Wheelhouse records the moment you became aware as a decision, starts both clocks from it, and builds both filings on the same screen.

Runs in your cloud, on your premises, or air-gapped. No managed SaaS.

The record

The breach, on the record.

Awareness is a decision. From that decision, two clocks run and both filings are built and on record.

Common questions

Answered straight.

Why two clocks?
CERT-In’s Directions (2022) require notification within 6 hours. The DPDP Rules require the Board intimation within 72 hours. Different laws, different recipients.
When do they start?
From awareness, recorded as a decision, not from the timestamp of the first alert.
Who receives each filing?
CERT-In receives the notification under the CERT-In Directions 2022. The Data Protection Board receives the intimation under the DPDP Rules.
Can we file directly from Wheelhouse?
Yes. The principal intimation and Board submission are built on the same screen and kept in the incident record.
