Data Processors vs Data Fiduciaries: Operational Responsibilities Explained
Under the DPDP Act, the data fiduciary decides why and how personal data is processed and holds primary regulatory accountability; the data processor acts on that instruction but still has meaningful operational and contractual duties.

Clarifying key questions about BFSI data-processor governance
In DPDP terms, your bank, NBFC, insurer, or fintech is typically the data fiduciary because it decides why and how customer data is processed, and it carries the primary compliance obligations and liability. Vendors that process data only on your documented instructions—such as SaaS providers, cloud platforms, KYC utilities, or call centres—are data processors, and must follow your instructions and implement suitable safeguards. Your due diligence should therefore focus on whether each processor can technically and operationally support your obligations as the fiduciary.

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.

Vendor Due Diligence for BFSI Data Processors
Outsourcing to data processors never shifts accountability away from the regulated BFSI entity; boards and senior management remain responsible for compliance and customer outcomes. Under the DPDP Act, your organization is the data fiduciary and must ensure that every processor can support lawful processing, security controls, and data-principal rights end-to-end.
