About this tool
Is this DPDP readiness score a legal assessment?
No. It is a self-assessment tool that gives you a directional readiness signal and a Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF) likelihood based on your answers. It is not legal advice and not a formal designation — confirm your obligations with legal counsel. The scoring mirrors the methodology in the Offload Security DPDP module.
What is a Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF)?
Under Section 10 of the DPDP Act, the Central Government can designate certain Data Fiduciaries as Significant based on the volume and sensitivity of data they process, plus risk to data principals. SDFs carry extra obligations under Rule 13: appointing a Data Protection Officer, periodic independent audits, and DPIAs. Official thresholds are not yet notified, so this tool gives a likelihood signal to help you plan.
Does anything I enter leave my browser?
Your questionnaire answers are scored entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to enter your email to unlock the detailed breakdown.
How is the readiness percentage calculated?
Each DPDP obligation (from Rules 6-15) becomes one plain-language question. 'Yes' counts fully, 'Partially' counts half, and 'No' / 'Not sure' count as a gap. The percentage is your credited controls over the controls that apply to you. Rule 13 (SDF) controls only count if the tool flags you as a likely SDF.
This checker is a directional self-assessment, not legal advice or a formal DPDP designation. For a live, evidence-backed readiness review mapped to security controls, see the Offload DPDP module.
