AI governance for the DPDPA transition.
Sentinel for India — anchored on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and DPDP Rules 2025, notified Nov 13, 2025. Phased compliance through May 13, 2027.
DPDPA rules notified. Full compliance May 13, 2027.
India's DPDP Rules 2025 were notified Nov 13, 2025 with phased application: Data Protection Board established now, Consent Managers from Nov 2026, substantive compliance from May 13, 2027. AI use that processes personal data falls squarely inside DPDPA. India has not yet legislated horizontal AI law — but the MeitY AI advisories and a likely DigiIndia framework are tracking.
Every framework India cares about — encoded as data, cross-mapped on day one.
The Sentinel Framework Engine ships with these frameworks as machine-readable data, with explicit cross-maps. When you assess a use case, the workpaper, the review pack, and the auditor evidence trail are generated from this library — not authored from scratch.
