A named, accountable Data Protection Officer — outsourced, fractional or virtual — matched to your industry and regulatory footprint. One engagement covering DPDP Act 2023, GDPR, CPRA and PDPA, delivered by a vetted expert network.
DPO services give your organisation a Data Protection Officer — the accountable privacy lead required or recommended under laws like the DPDP Act 2023 and the GDPR — without a full-time hire. You get a named, experienced professional who runs your privacy programme end to end: building the records, assessing the risks, handling data-subject requests, steering breach response, and acting as the standing point of contact for regulators and data principals.
The model comes in three shapes — outsourced (the whole DPO function sits with us), fractional (a senior DPO for a defined share of their time), and virtual (remote-first, tool-agnostic delivery). Which fits depends on your data footprint, sector and how many jurisdictions you touch.
Below is the full catalogue of DPO services we deliver. Each is a discrete engagement you can take on its own or fold into an ongoing retainer — start with a gap assessment if you’re not sure where you stand.
Matched by jurisdiction, industry and use-case — so guidance is context-perfect, not generic.
A named, resident DPO acting as your official point of contact for the Board, regulators and data principals — running the whole programme on a fractional retainer, at 40–60% below a full-time hire.

Explore →Yes — appointing a DPO on a service contract is expressly permitted. Here’s the basis under each regime.
The DPO “may fulfil the tasks on the basis of a service contract” — an external DPO is explicitly lawful for EU/UK processing.
Significant Data Fiduciaries must appoint an India-based individual answerable to the Board. A fractional model works when that named individual has a documented mandate and real involvement — which is how we structure engagements.
Not designated an SDF? Appointment is voluntary — but customer questionnaires, certifications and investors increasingly expect it.
A quick way to place yourself — then confirm it with a readiness assessment.
Organisations notified as SDFs under the DPDP Act — based on data volume, sensitivity and risk to data principals — must appoint an India-based DPO answerable to the Board.
Large-scale monitoring, large-scale processing of special-category data, or a public-authority role require a DPO under the GDPR — regardless of where you’re based.
Even where appointment is voluntary, security questionnaires, ISO 27701 / SOC 2 and investor due diligence increasingly treat a named DPO as table stakes.
Not a lone consultant with a blank page — a matched expert backed by playbooks and peer review.
Matched by jurisdiction + industry + use-case — SaaS with EU cookies, AI DPIAs, healthcare vendor chains — so guidance is context-perfect.
Consultants arrive with regulator-cited templates and checklists for your scenario. No blank pages, no billable reinvention.
Peer review and conflict checks under a single accountable DPO — consistent, defensible decisions.

DPO services provide your organisation with a Data Protection Officer — the accountable privacy lead required or recommended under laws like the DPDP Act 2023 and the GDPR — on an outsourced, fractional or virtual basis. Instead of a full-time hire, you get a named, experienced DPO who runs your privacy programme, owns the compliance artefacts (RoPA, DPIAs, DSAR handling, breach response) and represents you to regulators and data principals.
Under the GDPR it is explicitly permitted — Article 37(6) allows a DPO to be appointed on the basis of a service contract. Under India’s DPDP Act 2023, a Significant Data Fiduciary’s DPO must be an India-based individual answerable to the Board; a fractional appointment works when that named individual has a real, documented mandate — which is how our partner engagements are structured.
Under the DPDP Act 2023, appointing a DPO is mandatory for organisations notified as Significant Data Fiduciaries. For everyone else, appointment is voluntary — but customers, certifications and investors increasingly expect it, and a DPO is the practical way to run a defensible privacy programme.
Retainers typically run ₹80,000 to ₹5,00,000 per quarter. Scope, sector and the number of jurisdictions drive the figure — usually 40–60% below the cost of a full-time hire. Advisory retainers start around ₹80,000/quarter; dedicated DPO engagements run ₹2,50,000–₹5,00,000/quarter; enterprise scopes are custom.
A lawyer advises on the law when you ask. A DPO service runs the privacy programme continuously — building and maintaining your RoPA, DPIAs, DSAR workflows and breach playbooks, sitting in your governance cadence and acting as the standing point of contact for regulators and data principals.
One core programme localised per market: India (DPDPA), EU/UK (GDPR + ePrivacy, SCCs, UK IDTA), US (CPRA and state laws, GPC) and Singapore (PDPA) — with Canada, Brazil, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East available on request.
No pitch, no obligation — just a clear read on where you stand and what a DPO engagement would cover.
