The problem

Personal data now carries consent duties, breach reporting deadlines and penalties.

Most organisations cannot say what data they hold, where it sits, or who can reach it.

How Risknox solves it

Platform and people, doing different halves of the job.

Platform

Fortress runs a DPDP self-assessment, scores each obligation, assigns remediation to named owners and keeps the evidence attached to every control.

Expert service

Our privacy consultants help with policy drafting, data mapping, consent notices and a readiness review before you self-declare.

What you get

  • DPDP self-assessment across consent, rights, retention, security and breach response
  • Gap report with severity and a named owner per gap
  • Remediation plan tracked to closure in Fortress
  • Data mapping workshop and policy templates
  • Evidence pack for the board and the regulator

Questions we get asked

Is a DPDP self-assessment legally sufficient?+

No. DPDP has no certification scheme. A structured self-assessment shows you took the obligation seriously and gives you evidence — it is not a government approval.

Do you act as our Data Protection Officer?+

We can support a DPO function through a vCISO engagement. Accountability stays with your organisation.

How long does readiness take?+

The assessment takes a day. Remediation usually runs a quarter, and data mapping is the part that sets the pace.

Does this include consent management tooling?+

The assessment covers consent obligations and we help write the notices and withdrawal process. A consent manager product is not part of this offering.
