Deliver expert advisory on international privacy laws (GDPR / PDPL / CCPA etc.) and their alignment or deviation from DPDPA.

Conduct privacy workshops, awareness programs, and executive briefings.

4. Cybersecurity Integration

Align privacy and security requirements, bridging DPDPA with cybersecurity controls (ISO 27001, NIST, SOC2, DPMS, CICRA, CSRF etc.).

Advise on technical safeguards, including encryption, access controls, DLP, and data minimization strategies.

Support incident response processes for data breaches and coordinate breach notifications.

Create implementable solutions, checklists, and toolkits for client delivery.

Track engagement progress and ensure timely completion of project milestones.
