Cross-Border Transfer Map Audit
Liability Check
Is your Indian customer data secretly flying out of the country? Every single cross-border transfer of personal data requires strict DPDP compliance, and without a complete audit, you're looking at severe liability.
Why Cross-Border Transfer Map Audit is at Risk
You use global SaaS, cloud platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, or even AWS/Azure. Do you *really* know where your Indian users' personal data resides? Often, **sensitive personal data, financial records, or even basic contact information** leaves India through sub-processors, overseas support teams, or disaster recovery sites. The DPDP Act doesn't care if it's your vendor's fault; **you, as the Data Fiduciary, are 100% liable** for every byte of data, wherever it lands. Ignoring this **cross-border data flow** is a direct path to hefty penalties.
Common Violations
- 1.Using global cloud or SaaS providers (e.g., AWS, GCP, Salesforce, Zoho) without explicit **data residency clauses** or understanding their sub-processor locations.
- 2.Failing to conduct **due diligence** on the cross-border data transfer practices of your foreign vendors and their sub-processors.
- 3.Not disclosing **international data transfers** to Data Principals in your privacy policy or terms of service, violating transparency requirements.
The Immediate Fix
Map every single vendor (SaaS, cloud, support) that processes Indian personal data. Immediately review your **Data Processor Agreements (DPAs)** to clarify data residency commitments, explicit consent for cross-border transfers, and sub-processor accountability clauses.
