IndiaConsent: Self Assessment & Third Party Risk Management

The unified platform for Self-Assessment & Third-Party Risk Management

Conduct comprehensive DPDP Act 2023 privacy self-assessments, manage organizational risks, and audit third-party data processors and vendors — all from one console.

Two powerful assessment modules in one platform

While other vendors sell separate tools, PATM unifies internal self-assessment and risk governance with external third-party risk management into a single DPO command center.

Internal Governance

Self Assessment and Risk Management

Evaluate internal data processing activities, diagnose privacy compliance gaps, conduct fiduciary self-assessments, and manage enterprise risk posture under India's DPDP Act 2023.

  • Statutory DPDP Act 2023 self-assessment questionnaire frameworks
  • Internal data processing risk mapping & gap diagnosis
  • Severity × Likelihood risk matrix with automated impact scoring
  • Internal remediation tracking & corrective action workflows
Vendor Governance

Third Party Risk Management (TPRM)

Audit third-party vendors and data processors across your entire supply chain with continuous risk tiering, evidence verification, and remediation tracking.

  • Section 8(2) DPDP compliant data processor evaluations
  • Dedicated vendor response portal with zero-cost access
  • Option-aware evidence vault with tamper-evident audit logs
  • Vendor compliance scorecards, risk tiers & remediation workflows

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do Self-Assessment and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) work together?

Self-Assessment allows Data Fiduciaries to evaluate their own internal processing activities, identify privacy gaps, and establish baseline compliance under the DPDP Act 2023. Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) extends this governance externally to all data processors and vendors handling personal data on behalf of the fiduciary, satisfying Section 8(2) obligations. Both tracks operate seamlessly within the same unified console.

What frameworks are included for internal Self-Assessment?

PATM includes pre-configured self-assessment frameworks aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023 provisions — covering lawful basis of processing, notice mechanisms, data principal rights workflows, security safeguards, and breach readiness.

Do third-party vendors need a paid subscription to respond?

No. Third-party vendors receive secure, role-based portal access to complete assessments, upload required option-level evidence, and collaborate on remediation at zero cost.

How does option-aware evidence verification work?

When an assessment respondent selects a specific compliance option (e.g. 'Certified under ISO 27001'), PATM dynamically requires evidence attached explicitly to that option, logging immutable file audit records.
