Biometric Attendance Audit
Liability Check

Your employees' biometric data is highly sensitive and carries unique DPDP risks. Improper collection or management for attendance can trigger massive DPDP fines (up to ₹250 Crore) and severe employee distrust.

Why Biometric Attendance Audit is at Risk

Biometric data, such as fingerprints or facial scans used for attendance in factories, tech parks, or corporate offices, is considered **'special category' personal data** under DPDP. This demands the highest level of protection, requiring explicit, **informed consent** from employees for specific purposes. Without a clear, documented purpose, robust security measures, and limited retention, you are exposing your workforce and your business to significant **data breach risks** and severe penalties from the Data Protection Board. Imagine the reputational damage and compliance nightmare if your entire staff's biometric information were compromised.

2.Retaining biometric attendance data long after an employee has left the company, violating retention limits.

The Immediate Fix
