Digital Personal Data Protection Act · Control TR-001 · Priority: high · Component: Transparency

### What this control covers

Provide a standalone privacy notice to data principals at or before seeking consent. The notice must be: (i) clear, plain, and not embedded in Terms & Conditions; (ii) specify all personal data collected and purposes; (iii) explain how rights under DPDPA may be exercised; (iv) provide details of how to complain to the Data Protection Board; and (v) provide DPO contact details. Objective: Ensure data principals are fully informed before giving consent, making all consent legally valid under the DPDPA.

### Why it matters

Risk is the language an executive team understands; this control connects technical reality to board-level decisions and budget allocation.

### How to implement

#### AWS

Codify the policy intent as **SCPs, AWS Config conformance packs, and Security Hub standards** so the cloud enforces what the document says.

#### Azure

Codify in **Azure Policy initiatives** (built-in regulatory compliance for CIS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA) and assign at management-group level.

#### GCP

Use **Cloud KMS** with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for BigQuery, GCS, and Compute. **Sensitive Data Protection** (DLP API) inspects/de-identifies PII at scale.

#### Google Workspace

Enable **client-side encryption** for Drive/Docs and turn on **Drive Labels + DLP** rules to prevent external sharing of regulated data classes.

#### On-premises

Maintain a policy library with a documented review cadence (annual minimum); store in your GRC tool with attestation tracking. Map each policy to controls so an audit pull cites the exact policy clause.

### Evidence to collect

-   `policy_document` — A signed, version-controlled policy stating leadership intent and the named owner.

Signed policies, procedures, and registers document the safeguard. Focus: Standalone Privacy Notice.
