Digital Anumati gives you a single response engine — log, triage, investigate, notify, and document every incident — so a breach is handled calmly, correctly, and within the timelines that matter.

Why Breach Response Is a DPDP Act Obligation
Under the DPDP Act, a personal data breach must be reported to the Data Protection Board and to affected Data Principals. Meeting that duty under pressure demands a rehearsed, documented process — not an improvised one in the middle of a crisis.
Without a breach management system, businesses face three critical risks:
Slow Response = Missed Notification
The DPDP Act requires breach notification to the Data Protection Board and affected individuals. Without a ready process, the clock runs out while teams scramble to coordinate.
Ad-Hoc Handling = No Record
Managing a breach over calls and chat leaves no defensible timeline. If you can't show what you knew and when you acted, you can't demonstrate you responded properly.
Wrong Notification = More Harm
Notifying the wrong people, with the wrong details, or too late can deepen harm to Data Principals and worsen your exposure with the regulator.
What Digital Anumati's Incident & Breach Management Does
1. Centralised Incident Intake
Capture suspected incidents from any source — staff, monitoring tools, or vendors — into one register, so nothing is lost in inboxes during a crisis.
2. Triage & Severity Assessment
Classify each incident, assess whether it is a notifiable personal data breach, and rate its severity and scope to drive the right response.
3. Guided Investigation
Run a structured investigation with assigned owners, tasks, and timelines, capturing facts, root cause, and the data and people affected.
4. Notification Workflows
Generate and manage notifications to the Data Protection Board and affected Data Principals from templates, so messaging is accurate and consistent.
5. Deadline & SLA Tracking
Track every incident against response and notification timelines with reminders and escalations, so you act within the windows the DPDP Act expects.
6. Documented Audit Trail
Maintain a complete, time-stamped record of detection, decisions, actions, and notifications — the evidence regulators will ask for.
