GDPR and India's DPDP Act: one scan, two regulators

The EU's GDPR and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act share DNA but differ in the details. Secureefy Scan checks both in a single pass — here's what it looks for.

If you serve users in both the EU and India, you answer to two privacy regimes. Secureefy Scan runs dedicated GDPR and DPDP scanners so you can see both postures at once.

What the GDPR scanner checks

  • Privacy & cookie policies and a working consent banner
  • Consent-management platform detection (OneTrust, Cookiebot, and others)
  • Legal basis and data-processing notices
  • DPO / contact information and user-rights mechanisms
  • Third-party tracker disclosure and secure-cookie flags

What the DPDP scanner adds

India's DPDP Act (2023) introduces requirements GDPR doesn't phrase the same way:

  • Explicit, withdrawable consent and a clear privacy notice
  • Data-principal rights and child data protection
  • Cross-border transfer and localisation checks
  • Grievance redressal officer disclosure and breach-notification readiness

Each scan returns a score, a compliance level, and itemized findings with remediation — packaged into an audit-ready PDF your legal team can hand to a regulator.
