What ROPA covers.
Every activity with its purpose, the data it touches and the systems it runs on.
The DPDP ground for each activity, with its owner and evidence beside it.
How long each record is kept and where it travels, kept current as locations change.
From registration to change history.
Redacto keeps every activity current as discovery, vendor reviews and assessments change. Owners confirm.
What teams ask first.
Do we have to build the ROPA from scratch?
No. Bring your existing spreadsheet. Redacto maps it into the register, then fills the gaps from discovery, vendor reviews and assessments.
Does the ROPA update itself when things change?
Yes. Discovery, Vendor Risk and PIA update the fields they own, and Redacto keeps storage and transfer locations current. Every change is flagged for the activity owner to confirm, so the register never waits for someone to reopen a spreadsheet.
Is a ROPA required under the DPDP Act?
The Act doesn’t use the term, but it expects you to know what you process and why. Answering an access request means summarising your processing and who the data was shared with, and Significant Data Fiduciaries face impact assessments and audits. A current ROPA is how you answer both.
Does it record the DPDP ground for each activity?
Yes. Each activity shows whether it relies on consent or a legitimate use, with its owner and evidence beside it.
Can we see who the data is shared with and where it goes?
Yes. Vendors and processors are linked from vendor reviews, and storage and transfer locations, including cross-border transfers, are kept current.
Can each business unit own its own activities?
Yes. Activities are linked to business units and products, each with a named owner who confirms changes.
Is there a history of changes to the record?
Yes. Change history is kept on every field, so what a record said before an update is still on record.
Can we export it for an auditor or the Board?
Yes. Export the full register or a single activity, with its change history, as Excel or PDF.
