1. Data Inventory & Classification

  • List all personal data collection points
  • Classify: basic vs sensitive data (health, financial, biometric, children's...)
  • Map data flows: collection → processing → storage → sharing
  • Identify third parties receiving data

2. Consent Mechanism

  • Audit current consent form: is it bundled? Can it be withdrawn?
  • Build granular consent: separate per purpose
  • Consent withdrawal: provide easy-to-use mechanism
  • Log consent records with timestamps
  • Update Privacy Policy per PDPD requirements

3. DPIA (Data Privacy Impact Assessment)

  • When mandatory: sensitive data + large-scale processing
  • DPIA template: describe processing, necessity, proportionality, risks
  • Risk mitigation measures
  • Retain DPIA, must provide when authorities request

4. Data Subject Request (DSR) Workflow

  • Intake channel: email or form to receive requests
  • Identity verification: confirm requester's identity
  • Response timeline: process within reasonable time
  • Common requests: access, erasure, rectification, objection

5. MPS Registration (if handling sensitive data)

  • Determine if handling sensitive data (health, financial, biometric...)
  • Prepare registration documents for Department A05, MPS
  • Include: data types, purposes, protection measures, organization info
  • Update registration when significant changes occur

6. Connecting with 6 frameworks pTrackly supports

  • ISO 27001: Annex A controls → meets ~60-70% of PDPD technical obligations
  • GDPR: if already GDPR-compliant, PDPD mainly adds MPS registration
  • SOC 2 Privacy TSC: consent, data subject rights → overlap with PDPD
  • HIPAA / PCI-DSS: technical safeguards satisfy PDPD technical protection requirements

pTrackly helps you implement PDPD faster with ready-made templates and automated evidence collection.
