With the enforcement of India’s DPDP framework in November 2025, data protection must evolve from a compliance exercise into a design principle embedded across the data and AI lifecycle. This white paper by the Data Security Council of India, supported by Privasapien, provides a practical techno-legal roadmap for operationalising Privacy by Design (PbD) and Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) under the DPDP framework.

Covering consent governance, privacy threat modelling, DPIAs, CBAC, and PETs such as differential privacy and federated learning, the white paper demonstrates how organisations can build measurable, innovation-friendly privacy governance that strengthens trust, reduces risk, and enables responsible data use across sectors.
