Protection
What this checkDPDP certification protects you from
The DPDP Act 2023 + Rules 2025 carry penalty bands up to ₹250 crore per instance. Holding an independent, live certification from checkDPDP is your documentary evidence of due diligence under Section 33(2) — exactly what the Data Protection Board weighs when deciding penalties.
₹250 cr security-failure band
We verify Section 8(5) safeguards — HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, secure cookies, modern TLS, MFA on admin paths. Closing these gaps removes the easiest path to the highest penalty band.
₹200 cr breach-notification band
We check that your breach workflow is documented, an owner is named, and a 72-hour Board-report path exists. Without this, a single breach can trigger automatic Schedule penalties.
₹50 cr consent-UX band
We audit Section 6 consent symmetry — granular categories, Accept ≡ Reject, withdraw-as-easy-as-grant. Cookie banners that fail this test are now an enforcement target.
Public trust + claim-washing
Anyone can write "DPDP-compliant" on their footer. Visitors who see the checkDPDP badge can click it and verify the live score on this page — no spoofing, no stale certificates.
SDF readiness for buyers
Enterprise procurement teams in BFSI, healthtech and edtech increasingly demand DPDP attestation in vendor onboarding. The badge satisfies that initial gate.
Daily-refreshed, never stale
Unlike paper certifications that go stale, your badge re-renders from a live daily score. If you regress, you see it. If you improve, your badge improves with you.

FAQ
BYJU'S DPDP certification — answered
- Is the BYJU'S checkDPDP certification independent?
- Yes — checkDPDP is editorially independent and does not sell badge placement. Every vendor is scored on the same DPDP Act 2023 + Rules 2025 framework.
- Does this certification fulfil DPDP compliance for BYJU'S?
- It is documentary evidence of independent due diligence. The DPDP Act 2023 has no single "compliant" stamp — Section 33(2) of the Act weighs the steps a Data Fiduciary has taken when deciding penalties, and an active independent certification is exactly that.
- How often is the score refreshed?
- Daily, at 02:00 UTC. The live scan runs the same DPDP audit engine we use at /scan against the homepage. If the score moves, the badge moves with it.
- Can I trust an embedded checkDPDP badge wherever I see it?
- Yes — the badge image is a live SVG served from checkDPDP. It cannot be spoofed. Clicking it brings you back to this page, where you can confirm the score is current.
- How do I get my own site DPDP-Certified by checkDPDP?
- Apply at /apply-certification. The first round is free — we audit your site, score it, and either issue your badge (if you score 55+) or send you a free prioritised fix-list.
- What protects BYJU'S from DPDP penalties under this scheme?
- The certification verifies the security safeguards, consent UX, breach workflow, Data Principal rights mechanism and notice obligations that the DPDP Schedule maps to its highest penalty bands (₹250 cr, ₹200 cr, ₹50 cr). Closing those gaps is the primary penalty-mitigation path.
