Executive checklist: are you ready to defend consent before the DPB?
Several weaknesses recur across organisations starting their DPDP implementation. A frequent issue is the absence of historical snapshots of consent flows—teams redesign onboarding screens or scripts but do not retain the old versions, making it hard to prove what a complainant actually saw. Another is inconsistent handling of withdrawals across channels: an individual may unsubscribe from email but continue to receive SMS or in-app messages because systems are not synchronised. Third-party lead sources are often poorly documented, with no reliable trail back to the original consent. Call centres may have scripts that meet DPDP standards on paper but low adherence in practice, or recordings that are not linked to customer profiles. Executives should focus first on creating a map of where consent is captured and stored, ensuring that withdrawal is consistently propagated, tightening contracts and integrations with key processors and partners, and putting in place basic version control for notices, scripts, and consent UIs.

Data fiduciaries need to give clear notices, maintain auditable consent records, honour withdrawals, and report certain incidents, with significant monetary penalties for serious failures.
