Data & Digital Governance

The need

Three regimes now pull in slightly different directions at once. California's CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives consumers rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information — and adds duties around sensitive personal information, data minimisation, and contractual terms with service providers and contractors. GDPR runs on a lawful-basis model instead, and India's DPDP Act on consent and data fiduciary obligations. Few organisations have mapped where personal data actually lives, who processes it, and under which basis in each regime — which is precisely what a regulator asks first.

What Droiture delivers

• CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, and DPDP Act gap assessments against current data handling practice
• Data processing inventories and lawful-basis mapping across systems and vendors
• Consumer and data subject rights request handling — access, deletion, correction, and opt-out of sale or sharing
• Privacy-by-design policy frameworks, consent architecture, and breach-notification protocols
• Integration of privacy controls into existing vendor and risk programmes, not a standalone silo

The need

Boards and regulators now expect cybersecurity oversight as a governance matter with defined accountability — not an IT ticket queue. CERT-In's 2022 directions impose strict incident reporting timelines, and RBI-regulated entities face a dedicated cyber security framework with board-level reporting expectations. The gap most organisations carry is not technical control quality; it is the absence of a structure that translates technical risk into something a board can act on.

What Droiture delivers

• Cyber risk governance frameworks aligned to ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST CSF
• Board and audit-committee reporting structures for cyber risk, in decision-ready language
• Incident response governance and CERT-In reporting-readiness reviews
• Clear accountability mapping between technology, risk, and board oversight

The need

As data moves across cloud platforms, analytics environments, and increasingly automated decision systems, the governance question shifts from “is it secured?” to “who is accountable for it, and on what basis was it used?” Without an information governance structure, classification, retention, and access decisions default to individual teams — and become impossible to evidence consistently.

What Droiture delivers

• Information risk assessments across the data lifecycle
• Data classification, retention, and access governance frameworks
• Digital governance structures covering accountability for automated and analytics-driven decisions
• Governance maturity assessment for data and technology functions

The need

Most organisations now process their most sensitive data on infrastructure they do not own, through vendors they did not build. Accountability does not transfer with the data: the DPDP Act keeps it with the data fiduciary, GDPR keeps it with the controller, and the CPRA requires specific contractual terms with service providers, contractors, and third parties before personal information is shared at all. A vendor assessment that stops at a completed security questionnaire leaves the accountability in place and the assurance absent.

What Droiture delivers

• Third-party and cloud technology risk assessment frameworks
• Processor, service provider, and contractor governance under GDPR, CPRA, and DPDP obligations
• Concentration risk and exit-planning review for critical technology dependencies
• Contractual security, audit-right, and incident-notification provisions that are workable in practice
