On-Site DPDP Workshop: When You Need It & What You Get

On-Site DPDP Workshop: What it Includes & Costs

An On-Site DPDP Workshop brings Sushant Pasamarty, founder of Meridian Bridge Strategy, directly to your office. This intensive engagement combines Data Mapping and a comprehensive DPDP Readiness Audit with the creation of a prioritized 90-day compliance roadmap, tailored specifically to your business operations. The goal is to provide a clear, actionable path to DPDP readiness.

This service costs between ₹5L – ₹10L and typically spans 4-6 weeks, including the on-site component and follow-up deliverables. The on-site presence allows for deeper, real-time collaboration with your teams.

What the On-Site DPDP Workshop Covers in Detail

The on-site workshop is designed for high-impact, hands-on collaboration. Sushant works with your team to deeply understand your data practices and compliance needs.

• On-Site Data Mapping: Sushant and your team will collaboratively map every personal data flow within your organization. This includes identifying who collects the data, how it is processed, where it is stored, and which third-party vendors have access to it. The on-site presence facilitates quicker information gathering and validation.
• Gap Analysis for DPDP Readiness: Following data mapping, an in-depth analysis identifies gaps against DPDP requirements. This covers areas like consent mechanisms, Data Principal Agreements (DPAs), grievance redressal, breach notification protocols, data deletion processes, and more.
• Interactive Discussions and Q&A: Face-to-face interaction allows for immediate clarification of complex DPDP concepts and their application to your specific business scenarios. This fosters a deeper understanding within your internal teams.
• Prioritized Recommendations: Based on the data mapping and gap analysis, you receive a set of specific, actionable recommendations. These are prioritized by urgency and impact to your compliance posture.
• 90-Day Implementation Roadmap: The workshop culminates in a detailed, phased roadmap outlining the steps your organization needs to take over the next 90 days to address the identified gaps and move towards compliance. This includes timelines, responsibilities, and key milestones.

What You Walk Away With (Specific Deliverables)

Upon completion of the On-Site DPDP Workshop, you receive several key artifacts to guide your compliance journey:

• Comprehensive Data Flow Maps: Visual and documented representations of all personal data flows within your organization.
• Detailed Gap Analysis Report: A report highlighting specific areas where your current practices deviate from DPDP requirements, with references to relevant sections of the Act.
• Prioritized Recommendations List: A clear, actionable list of steps to address compliance gaps, ranked by urgency and strategic importance.
• Customized 90-Day Implementation Roadmap: A phased plan with concrete tasks, assigned responsibilities, and target dates for achieving initial DPDP readiness.
• Workshop Summary & Key Insights: A document summarizing the on-site sessions, key decisions made, and insights gained during collaborative discussions.

Who This On-Site Workshop is For

This service is ideal for Indian business founders, CXOs, CTOs, HR heads, and compliance officers who:

• Prefer a hands-on, in-person engagement with an expert to deeply understand their data practices.
• Need a clear, actionable plan to achieve DPDP readiness within a defined timeframe.
• Have internal teams that would benefit from direct interaction and training during the compliance assessment process.
• Are ready to commit internal resources to collaborate intensively for quick progress.

What the On-Site DPDP Workshop Costs

The On-Site DPDP Workshop is a distinct offering that builds on foundational services, as outlined by Meridian Bridge Strategy.

The final cost within this range depends on your organization's size, the complexity of your data ecosystem, and the number of business units involved. Sushant Pasamarty, founder of MBS, provides a tailored quote after an initial consultation to understand your specific needs.

What the On-Site DPDP Workshop Does NOT Include

To set clear expectations, it's important to understand the scope of this workshop:

• Direct Implementation: MBS provides the roadmap and recommendations, but the actual implementation (e.g., updating systems, drafting policies, reconfiguring databases) is carried out by your internal teams or other chosen vendors.
• Long-Term Monitoring & Maintenance: This workshop delivers a readiness plan. Ongoing compliance monitoring, regular audits, and updates post-implementation are outside its scope.
• Legal Advice: While the recommendations are based on DPDP requirements, MBS provides strategic and operational guidance, not formal legal advice.
• DPO Appointment or Training: This service does not include the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or their full training program. (This is covered in Full DPDP Consulting).

If an On-Site DPDP Workshop aligns with your organization's needs for a direct, collaborative approach to compliance, your next step is to schedule an initial consultation with Sushant Pasamarty. This allows MBS to understand your context and determine the precise scope and investment for your tailored workshop.
