Wheelhouse (Data protection) · DPDP Compliance

DPDP Act compliance that runs inside your cloud.

Every DPDP obligation, with the section that creates it. Wheelhouse reads the Act, the Rules and the CERT-In Directions as registered provisions, turns your determinations into obligations with citations, and switches them on the day the law commences, not the day someone remembers.

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

Common questions

Answered straight.

What if the government moves a date?
Commencement is derived from the registered Gazette anchor. A new instrument updates the anchor, not the code.
Does exemption remove every duty?
No. s.8(1) and s.8(5) survive every ground, and Wheelhouse shows them surviving on every exemption.
When do the full obligations take effect?
Consent manager obligations commence 13 November 2026. The full obligations and penalties up to Rs. 250 crore per instance commence 13 May 2027. Source: Gazette G.S.R. 843(E) to 846(E).
Is this legal advice?
No. It is the law as registered, with citations, so your counsel can check each line.
