New Delhi, India — 10 October 2026 — Codec Networks Pvt. Ltd. today announced the launch of its Data Privacy, DPDPA, GDPR & Data Protection Program, a comprehensive advisory and implementation service for corporate organizations that collect, process, store or share personal data of customers, employees, vendors, patients, students, platform users and business partners.
Personal data has become a regulated business asset. With India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025 now defining obligations for every data fiduciary and processor, and the EU GDPR continuing to set the global benchmark for organizations handling European personal data, boards, enterprise customers, regulators and investors increasingly expect demonstrable evidence of privacy governance. Codec Networks’ new program is built to deliver exactly that evidence.
The program brings together privacy governance, data discovery and classification, RoPA-style processing inventories, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), consent and privacy-notice reviews, cross-border transfer analysis, vendor and processor privacy assessments, breach-response readiness, role-based employee training and a dedicated AI/big-data privacy risk assessment. It can be delivered as a quick DPDPA assessment, a full privacy implementation, DPO-as-a-Service, GDPR audit support or an ongoing privacy retainer.
“Privacy obligations cut across legal, IT, security, HR, marketing, product and vendor management. Most organizations don’t have a single team that owns all of it. We built this program to be that connective layer: one structured engagement that maps the data, assesses the gaps, fixes the controls and leaves the customer with evidence they can put in front of a board, an auditor or an enterprise buyer.”
— Piyush Mittal, Director Business Governance, Codec Networks Pvt. Ltd.
Designed for regulated and data-intensive sectors, the program addresses the needs of banks, NBFCs and fintechs, insurers, healthcare and health-tech providers, HR-tech and payroll platforms, edtech companies, SaaS and cloud businesses, e-commerce platforms, telecom operators, BPO/ITES data processors and international groups processing Indian or EU personal data across entities and vendors.
Every engagement follows a risk-based, evidence-led methodology: scope confirmation, data discovery workshops with business and technical stakeholders, control assessment against DPDPA, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27701 and the NIST Privacy Framework, DPIA and risk register, a prioritized remediation roadmap, policy and evidence support, and a management-level closure report. Customers receive a privacy gap assessment, data inventory, processing register, DPIA reports, breach-response plan, vendor privacy assessment, training records and an executive summary of their privacy risk posture.
Codec Networks also offers continuous assurance options including a quarterly Privacy Board Dashboard, privacy tabletop and breach drills, a high-volume “Vendor Privacy Factory”, cookie and consent-banner reviews, an Employee Privacy Program, ISO 27701 readiness and a Privacy Portal for tracking DPIAs, vendors, incidents and remediation.
The Data Privacy, DPDPA, GDPR & Data Protection Program is available immediately to organizations across India and to international companies with Indian or EU data-processing footprints. Scope, timeline and commercials are tailored to each customer’s industry, geography, processing profile and risk appetite.
