Data Fiduciary Obligations Under DPDPA

If your organisation determines the purpose and means of processing personal data, you are a Data Fiduciary under DPDPA. Section 8 imposes a comprehensive set of obligations — from ensuring data accuracy to implementing security safeguards. Kraver.ai provides the tools to fulfil every obligation systematically.

Purpose Limitation Enforcement

DPDPA Section 4 requires that personal data be processed only for the purpose for which consent was obtained or the legitimate use that applies. Kraver.ai enforces purpose limitation at the system level:

Map every data processing activity to a specific, documented purpose
Automated detection of purpose creep — processing data beyond consented scope
Purpose-based access controls — users can only access data for authorised purposes
Processing activity register maintained automatically
Alerts when new processing activities are detected without a mapped purpose

Data Retention Policy Automation

Section 8(3) requires Data Fiduciaries to erase personal data when the purpose is fulfilled and retention is no longer necessary. Kraver.ai automates retention management — defining retention periods by data category and purpose, monitoring retention expiry, triggering deletion workflows, and maintaining deletion certificates as evidence.

DPO Appointment & Management

Significant Data Fiduciaries must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) based in India under Section 17. Kraver.ai provides a DPO management console — a centralised dashboard for the DPO to monitor compliance posture, manage rights requests, oversee breach responses, and communicate with the Data Protection Board.

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

Section 17(3) requires SDFs to conduct periodic DPIAs. Kraver.ai's DPIA module automates the assessment process:

Automated data flow analysis for the processing activity under assessment
Risk identification using AI — privacy risks, security risks, rights impact
Risk scoring with severity and likelihood matrices
Mitigation recommendations mapped to specific controls
DPIA report generation for regulatory submission
Periodic reassessment scheduling and tracking

Significant Data Fiduciary Compliance

If designated as an SDF by the Central Government, additional obligations apply — appointing a DPO, conducting DPIAs, independent auditing, and publishing contact details. Kraver.ai provides a dedicated SDF compliance module that tracks all additional requirements and ensures nothing is missed.
