DPDPA + NABH + ABDM — the triple squeeze

GRC for Indian healthcare

Indian hospitals face three regulatory programmes at once: DPDPA with penalties up to ₹250 crore and hard enforcement on 13 May 2027, NABH digital health standards, and ABDM's registries and consent artefacts. No global platform serves all three. No Indian point tool covers the full ISMS. We built for exactly this.

52 modules · 26 native frameworks · 513 pre-generated policies and procedures — one platform for the whole programme.

The triple squeeze

Three programmes. One team. Same deadline pressure.

Each of these is a full compliance programme on its own. Indian healthcare organizations are being asked to run all three — simultaneously.

DPDPA

Digital Personal Data Protection Act

Consent, notice, data principal rights, breach reporting — with penalties up to ₹250 crore. Soft enforcement ends November 2026; hard enforcement lands 13 May 2027.

NABH

Digital health standards

Accreditation now expects demonstrable information-security and digital-health controls — evidence your assessors can actually inspect, not binders assembled the week before.

ABDM

Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

HFR and HPR registrations, ABHA-linked records, and consent artefacts — an integration programme with milestones, deadlines, and evidence of its own.

A day in the life

One security lead. Five programmes. Zero systems.

In most Indian hospitals, compliance is one person — a CISO, an IT head, a quality manager — holding everything together across spreadsheets. Here's what their week looks like, and what it looks like on one platform.

Today: spreadsheets

Patient-data consent records scattered across departmental spreadsheets

NABH accreditation evidence assembled by hand before every assessment

ABDM integration milestones tracked in email threads and someone's memory

CERT-In's 6-hour incident reporting window with no rehearsed workflow

An ISO 27001 programme running in a separate tool from everything above

On one platform

One control set mapped to DPDPA, ISO 27001, and your NABH requirements

Privacy operations — DSRs, ROPA, PIAs — running as workflows, not tabs

Incident playbooks with the 6-hour clock built into the response timeline

ABDM milestones tracked as projects with evidence attached as you go

Audit-ready evidence collected continuously, owned by named people

The modules that do the work

Each obligation, mapped to a module

Seven of the platform's 52 modules carry most of the load for Indian healthcare. Every one links to a full walkthrough.

The multilingual detail most platforms miss: DPDPA gives data principals the right to receive notices in any of India's 22 scheduled languages. Our document management module keeps every language version of your privacy notice under version control, side by side.

Straight answers

What works today, and what's rolling out

Healthcare buyers get oversold constantly. Here's our honest map.

Working today

Privacy operations — DSR intake and fulfilment, ROPA, and PIAs — run on the platform now. So do incident workflows, document control, training evidence, audit management, asset inventory, and vendor risk. If it's in the module list above, you can see it working on your data in a demo.

Rolling out ahead of the November 2026 deadline

Our DPDPA-native operations suite — consent registry, DSR SLA clocks tuned to DPDPA timelines, and a Significant Data Fiduciary obligations tracker — is rolling out ahead of the November 2026 deadline. You start on the privacy operations that work today; the DPDPA-native tooling lands before enforcement does.

What NABH and ABDM support actually means

We do not claim turnkey NABH certification or automated ABDM integration — nobody should. What the platform does: map NABH requirements into your control set and Statement of Applicability, and track ABDM milestones as projects with evidence attached. The accreditation and the integration are yours; the system of record that gets you through them is ours.

The clock is real

DPDPA: soft enforcement ends November 2026. Hard enforcement: 13 May 2027.

Consent operations, multilingual notices, DSR handling, and breach reporting take months to build properly. Hospitals that start now do it calmly — and at penalties up to ₹250 crore, “calmly” is worth a lot.
