Kochi Businesses
Liability Check

🌍

Kochi's booming IT corridor and spice export industry handle cross-border data transfers — a red flag under DPDP if restricted countries are notified.

Why Kochi Businesses is at Risk

IT companies in Kochi often process data for international clients from the US and EU. Under Section 16 of DPDP 2023, the Central Government may restrict cross-border transfer to certain countries. Even before such notification, you need valid DPAs with overseas clients and processors. Spice exporters sending buyer databases to overseas agents face similar risks.

Common Violations

  • 1.Transferring Indian customer data to overseas servers without contractual safeguards.
  • 2.Lacking Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with international clients.
  • 3.IT companies acting as processors without clarity on who is the Data Fiduciary.

The Immediate Fix

Sign **standardized DPAs** with all overseas clients. Map all cross-border data flows. Stay updated on government notifications regarding restricted countries.
