About the Firm

Strategic privacy advisory for DPDPA compliance.

India's privacy regulation Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 will be enforceable in May 2027. For businesses and corporates, managing personal data in order to preserve and nurture the customer trust is no more an option. Their reputation as well as financial risk in the form of share price impact, as seen from global examples in recent years, is at stake.

Privacy experts across the globe estimate that it takes on average 6 months for a company to become fully privacy compliant. For larger companies, the timeline can exceed 12 months, given their expansive personal data footprint, among other technical and operational challenges. They must get into action now to set up and run DPDPA privacy compliance as a program and company-wide initiative.

Shreyas Consulting is happy to help! Shreyas Consulting is a strategic privacy advisory that works with DPOs and privacy heads entrusted with operationalizing DPDPA compliance in their organizations, helping them with compliance strategy and blueprinting so that they get their organisation compliant faster, avoiding compliance gaps and can confidently manage their stakeholders.

Leading UK-Based Global Bank — Multiple Privacy Engagements

Banking  ·  Privacy By Design  ·  DPIA
▾

The Context

A leading UK-based global bank with vast operations, a heavy legacy of processes and systems, and an ongoing digital transformation programme.

Qualifying as a Data Controller under GDPR with a layered 3-lines-of-defence risk model, the bank's GDPR implementation spanned over a dozen work streams.

A new Target Operating Model (TOM) was required to address the post-GDPR reality and align all work streams. The bank was also undertaking Privacy by Design for the first time, amid a level of regulatory ambiguity inherent to GDPR as a new regulation.

In addition, the bank needed to formulate a DPIA framework to address high-risk scenarios — including biometric data and large-volume personal data processing.

The Approach

  • Optimised effort and timeline for the TOM by focusing on the delta from the existing model and socialising precise gaps with teams
  • Aligned the TOM to the bank's overall governance framework
  • Engaged with the bank's Organisation Design, Compliance Governance and HR experts
  • Led workshops with stakeholders across data governance, new products and project governance committees
  • Created Privacy by Design safeguards aligned to GDPR mandates and ratified with stakeholders
  • Reviewed existing governance and architecture principles for implementation of safeguards
  • For DPIA blueprinting, clearly defined in-scope and out-of-scope risk scenarios
  • Created an end-to-end process flow for executing DPIA — visual depiction made stakeholder discussions extremely productive
  • Investigated interplay with DPO responsibilities and maintained focus on business readiness for DPIA
  • Provided key criteria for the client's upcoming selection of a DPIA software tool

The Result

  • Client received a uniform TOM applicable across all business units — saving over 25–30% effort and eliminating redundancies in compliance workflows
  • Executive buy-in achieved on frameworks and control points from the outset, resulting in a progressively ratified and robust design
  • DPO Office received a comprehensive organisational gap assessment and operational plan to tackle a complex regulatory requirement under GDPR
  • Solution consisted of 9 actionable engineering and operational control points for ensuring Privacy by Design, with a full implementation roadmap
  • Client received a complete DPIA framework, visually depicted — making it extremely user friendly
  • High satisfaction with the end product — DPIA escalation path leads all the way to regulatory approval with 100% traceability
