(https://www.icompaas.com) **India DPDP Act 2023**·Control `TR-002`·high·Component: **Transparency** ## What this control requires > Implement a technical mechanism enabling data principals to access consent requests in English and all 22 languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India. The selected language must be logged at the time of consent. Objective: Ensure all Indian data principals can give informed consent in their preferred language, making consent lawful across all regional demographics. > > — India DPDP Act 2023, Control TR-002 ### In plain English Implement a technical mechanism enabling data principals to access consent requests in English and all 22 languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India. In practice, this means you can prove you implement multi-level controls on a defined cadence. ## Why it matters Penalties under the DPDP Act reach ₹250 crore per instance of significant non-compliance, and the Act applies extra-territorially to any entity processing personal data of individuals in India in connection with offering goods or services. This control is rated **high**. Auditors expect a named owner, a remediation SLA, and a tooling artefact that evidences continuous operation. ## What an auditor looks for Indian DPAs and statutory auditors will look for: documented consent capture and revocation flows, a designated Data Protection Officer (for Significant Data Fiduciaries), breach-notification workflows tied to Data Protection Board notification timelines, and Records of Processing that match the consent notice the user saw. Within **Transparency**, the assessor will trace your implementation back to the catalogue reference (Control TR-002) and look for objective evidence on the latest two assessment cycles. ## How to implement #### Policy Management **Docs.** Keep each policy in version-controlled Markdown alongside the code that implements it; ship a signed PDF snapshot at each annual review and link the SHA into the SoA. ### Operational checklist - **Implement.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Ensure.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Log.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Scope:** multi, language consent interface. ## Evidence to collect - **Policy Document.** A signed and version-controlled policy / standard / procedure document. Signed policies, procedures, and registers document the safeguard. Focus: Multi-Language Consent Interface. ## Common pitfalls - Policies that no engineer has read; the version in Confluence drifts from the version that's actually being enforced. ## How it maps to other frameworks Computed from shared tags, control component and key-operation subjects — handy when you are reconciling controls across an audit. - [**ISO/IEC 27701:2025 A.1.2.5** — Obtain & record consent](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27701-2025/a-1-2-5-obtain-record-consent) - [**GDPR Article 6** — Lawfulness of processing](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-6-lawfulness-of-processing) - [**SOC 2 (2017 TSC) P3.2** — Consent Management for Personal Information Collection](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/soc-2-trust-services-criteria/p3-2-consent-management-for-personal-information-collection) ## Related controls in India DPDP Act 2023 - [**Control DS-005** — Consent Withdrawal Mechanism](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/ds-005-consent-withdrawal-mechanism) - [**Control LB-001** — Consent Quality & Management](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/lb-001-consent-quality-management) - [**Control TR-001** — Standalone Privacy Notice](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/tr-001-standalone-privacy-notice) - [**Control SC-006** — Consent Manager Oversight & Agreement](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/sc-006-consent-manager-oversight-agreement) - [**Control SC-002** — Data Principal Identification & Guardian Consent Management](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/sc-002-data-principal-identification-guardian-consent-management) - [**Control DS-007** — Grievance Redressal Mechanism](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/ds-007-grievance-redressal-mechanism) ## References - [Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (India) — India DPDP Act 2023](https://www.meity.gov.in/content/digital-personal-data-protection-act-2023) - Catalogue identifier: `Control TR-002` Topics: governance riskdata protectionprivacy managementpolicy management ## Related compliance guidance - [India's DPDP Act 2023: a practical compliance guide for cloud teams](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023): Start with the full DPDP Act implementation guide — scope, roadmap, evidence and how the assessment runs. - [GDPR compliance: a practical implementation guide for cloud-native SaaS teams](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr): Most teams extend an existing GDPR programme to India; this guide shows where the lawful bases, timelines and breach rules differ. - [ISO/IEC 27001:2022 compliance: a practical implementation guide](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27001-2022): Rule 6's reasonable security safeguards map almost one-to-one onto ISO 27001 Annex A controls you may already operate.
