Putting a DPDP operating model in place for vendors
When using global vendors, procurement should work with legal and security teams to assess DPDP compliance alongside any sectoral localisation rules that apply to your organisation. Ask vendors to map where personal data of Indian data principals is stored and accessed, list all sub-processors and data centres, and explain how they will comply with any government notifications restricting transfers to particular countries. Contracts should require the vendor to comply with DPDP obligations applicable to processors, assist your organisation in meeting its fiduciary duties, and notify you before material changes in data location or sub-processors. For regulated sectors that already have data localisation or outsourcing guidelines, ensure the global vendor’s architecture and contractual commitments can accommodate those sector-specific requirements as well as DPDP standards.

Common questions about DPDP audit readiness
Your visibility into a vendor’s environment depends on the service model and your contract, but as a Data Fiduciary you are expected to obtain reasonable assurance that processors implement appropriate safeguards and help you meet DPDP obligations. In most cases this means reviewing documented policies and procedures, summaries of data flows and sub-processors, sample records of rights-handling and incident management, and relevant certifications or independent assessment reports where they exist. For higher-risk services, you may negotiate more detailed audit rights, such as on-site reviews or third-party assessment reports. A vendor that refuses to share any concrete evidence and relies only on general “we comply” statements presents a material risk that procurement should escalate. [1]

Putting a DPDP operating model in place for vendors
In regulatory terms, the data fiduciary remains primarily answerable for ensuring that reasonable security safeguards are in place and that breaches are appropriately notified and managed. If a processor’s systems are compromised, the Data Protection Board is likely to look first to the fiduciary, which engaged the processor and is responsible for ensuring that its processing arrangements are compliant. However, processors are not insulated from exposure. Where the Act or subsequent rules impose duties directly on processors – such as implementing safeguards, adhering to instructions, or complying with directions from the Board – processors can face penalties in their own right if they fail to meet those obligations. From a commercial standpoint, contracts typically include indemnities, liability caps, and insurance requirements to share financial risk between fiduciary and processor, but those private arrangements do not remove either party’s regulatory responsibilities.
