Vendor Risk Management (TPRM)
Under the DPDP Act, your Data Processors are your responsibility. Digital Anumati's Third-Party Risk Management lets you onboard vendors, run privacy and security assessments, track contracts and obligations, and continuously monitor risk — so the partners handling your data don't become your liability.

Why Vendor Risk Is Central to DPDP Act Compliance
The DPDP Act lets you engage Data Processors only under a valid contract, and keeps the Data Fiduciary accountable for how those processors handle personal data. Managing that third-party risk is a direct compliance obligation, not a procurement afterthought.
Unmanaged vendor relationships create three critical risks:
Their Breach, Your Liability
When a processor mishandles personal data you entrusted to them, the DPDP Act still holds you, the Data Fiduciary, accountable. Vendor risk is your risk.
No DPA = No Defensible Position
Sharing personal data with a vendor without a proper data processing agreement and documented safeguards leaves you exposed and unable to evidence due diligence.
Point-in-Time Checks Go Stale
A vendor that was compliant at onboarding can drift. Without ongoing monitoring, you only discover a partner's deterioration after it has already affected your data.
What Digital Anumati's Vendor Risk Management Does
1. Vendor Onboarding & Inventory
Maintain a single register of every third party that touches personal data, with the processing purpose, data categories, and risk tier for each.
2. Privacy & Security Assessments
Send standardised questionnaires, collect evidence, and score vendors against DPDP and security criteria — turning due diligence into a repeatable workflow.
3. Contract & DPA Tracking
Store data processing agreements, track clauses and renewal dates, and ensure every processor is engaged under a valid, current contract.
4. Risk Scoring & Tiering
Automatically rate each vendor by the sensitivity of data shared and their assessment results, so you focus oversight where the risk is highest.
5. Continuous Monitoring
Track vendors beyond onboarding with reassessment cycles and alerts, catching drift in a partner's posture before it reaches your data.
6. Audit-Ready Reporting
Generate one-click reports evidencing vendor due diligence, contracts, and monitoring for internal audits and the Data Protection Board.

Frequently Asked Questions
TPRM is the practice of assessing and monitoring the vendors and Data Processors who handle personal data on your behalf. Under the DPDP Act, the Data Fiduciary remains accountable for that data, can engage processors only under a valid contract, and must ensure they apply appropriate safeguards.
