DPDP compliant cloud hostingwith data residency in India
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP, 2023) expects personal data of Indians to stay protected and in-country. DataDack's sovereign Noida region gives you that foundation by default.
What the DPDP Act expects
A plain-language view of the obligations most relevant to where and how you host data. This is general information, not legal advice.
Data localisation & residency
Personal data of Indian users should be stored and processed within India, with control over cross-border transfer.
Consent & purpose limitation
Data fiduciaries must collect data with clear consent and use it only for the stated purpose.
Data-fiduciary duties
Obligations around security safeguards, breach notification, retention limits and the rights of data principals.
Demonstrable safeguards
Reasonable technical and organisational security measures must be in place and evidenced.
How DataDack helps you align
We provide DPDP-aligned infrastructure; application-level obligations like consent and retention remain yours as the data fiduciary.
All data in India
Every byte of compute and storage runs in our sovereign Noida region. There is no cross-border replication - your data physically stays within Indian borders.
Security by default
Always-on L3/L4 DDoS protection, hardware-level tenant isolation, encryption at rest and private VPC networking give you the safeguards the Act expects.
Single, sovereign region
A single Indian region makes residency simple to reason about and audit - no guessing which country a replica lives in.
Procurement-ready
Request our security posture documentation for vendor assessments; SOC 2 Type II is in progress (targeted 2026).
DPDP, answered
- What is the DPDP Act?
- The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) is India's data-protection law. It governs how organisations (data fiduciaries) collect, process, store and protect the personal data of individuals (data principals) in India, including consent, purpose limitation, security safeguards and cross-border transfer.
- How does hosting on DataDack Cloud help with DPDP compliance?
- DataDack runs entirely in a sovereign Noida region with no cross-border replication, so personal data of Indian users stays in India. Combined with DDoS protection, tenant isolation, encryption at rest and private VPC networking, this gives you the data-residency and security foundation the DPDP Act expects. Application-level obligations (consent, retention, rights handling) remain your responsibility as the data fiduciary.
- Does DataDack transfer data outside India?
- No. There is no cross-border replication. All compute and storage run in our Noida region, so personal data does not leave Indian borders by default.
- Is DataDack itself DPDP-compliant?
- Data stays in Noida, with no cross-border replication, and the platform adds DDoS protection, tenant isolation and encryption at rest. That is the hosting half. Consent, purpose limitation and data-principal rights stay with the application.
- Can I get documentation for a compliance review?
- Yes. Enterprise customers can request our current security posture documentation and a BAA where applicable. Contact us via the contact page.
