A structured, DIY documentation foundation for DPDP readiness

The DesiPlat DPDP Documentation Templates are a curated set of documentation artefacts designed to help organisations establish a clear, structured baseline of DPDP-related documentation.


These templates are intended for organisations that need to move from informal practices to explicit, internally usable documentation, without engaging in open-ended consulting or legal engagements.


This is a documentation acceleration tool, not a compliance guarantee.

​Who this is meant for

This documentation pack is suitable for organisations that:

  • Process personal data as part of routine business operations

  • Do not have in-house privacy or legal teams

  • Are responding to DPDP-related questions from customers, partners, or internal stakeholders

  • Need a defensible starting point for DPDP documentation

Typical users include founders, operations heads, HR leaders, IT heads, and compliance owners in small and mid-sized organisations.

Not all templates will apply to every organisation.



What this pack includes

The pack contains 26 structured documentation templates, organised into six logical categories commonly expected under DPDP-aligned governance and operational practices.

Detailed usage and license conditions are included within the documentation pack itself.

Delivery and access

  • The documentation pack is delivered digitally via a secure access link

  • Access is time-bound; users are expected to download and store the materials securely

  • If a refund is issued, access to the digital materials will be revoked in line with the license terms

How these templates are intended to be used

These documentation templates are designed to serve as starting points, not finished outputs.

Organisations are expected to:

  • Review relevance based on their data processing activities

  • Customise language, scope, and controls to reflect real practices

  • Decide which documents are applicable to their context

  • Maintain and update documentation as operations evolve


What this pack is not

To avoid ambiguity, please note that this documentation pack:

  • Does not constitute legal advice

  • Does not provide certification or regulator endorsement

  • Does not guarantee compliance with the DPDP Act

  • Is not customised to your organisation

  • Does not replace professional legal or compliance review

The templates are provided on a DIY, best-effort basis to support internal documentation and preparation.


Governance & Accountability

Documentation to establish internal ownership, roles, responsibilities, and decision-making structures related to personal data handling.

Data Mapping & Inventory

Structured artefacts to help organisations document what personal data they process, for what purpose, and through which systems or workflows.

Consent & Notice Management

Templates to support the creation of externally facing notices and internally managed consent practices, where applicable.

Security & Incident Response

Operational SOPs and reference documents related to data security controls and incident or breach response handling.

Vendor & Third-Party Management

Artefacts to support vendor due diligence, data processing arrangements, and third-party data handling oversight.

DPIA & Audit

Structured workbooks to support internal risk assessment, impact evaluation, and preparation for customer, partner, or audit queries.

Development methodology

The value of this documentation pack lies not in the number of documents, but in how they have been designed and structured.

Each template in this pack has been created using a multi-stage drafting and refinement approach intended to balance legal relevance, operational usability, and defensibility.

This approach includes:

  • Structuring documents around DPDP concepts as they apply in real organisational contexts, rather than abstract legal theory

  • Explicit articulation of roles, responsibilities, and assumptions to reduce ambiguity during internal or external review

  • Consistent terminology and framing across documents to avoid internal contradictions

  • Design for practical use by operations, HR, IT, and leadership teams—not only legal specialists

The templates are intentionally written to be:

  • Clear rather than verbose

  • Conservative rather than speculative

  • Usable rather than academically complete

This makes them suitable as baseline documentation artefacts that organisations can stand behind and evolve.

On quality and differentiation

These templates are an output of iterative drafting, cross-document consistency checks, and deliberate restraint in claims and language. The focus throughout has been on producing documentation that can withstand reasonable scrutiny, rather than impress through volume or complexity.

This is what differentiates the pack from generic or freely available templates, and why it is positioned as a paid, professional documentation resource rather than a downloadable checklist.

Summary

The DesiPlat DPDP Documentation Templates are designed for organisations that want to move from ambiguity to structured documentation, without over-engineering or overstating outcomes.

If you are looking for certification, legal validation, or compliance guarantees, this is not the appropriate product. Our product simply saves you preparatory time. 

If you are looking for clarity, structure, and a defensible documentation baseline, this pack is designed for that purpose.
