Employee data is often the best place to start DPDP readiness.
Every organisation processes employee data. In many cases, this includes identity records, PAN, Aadhaar, bank details, salary information, attendance records, appraisal documents, nominee details, insurance information, medical records, contractor data and exit records.
Why this matters
Employee data is rarely held only by HR. It often moves across payroll, finance, administration, IT, legal, compliance, facilities, department heads, consultants and outsourced vendors.
What NPV helps assess
NPV helps organisations map employee data across the employment lifecycle.
Recruitment -> Onboarding -> Employment -> Payroll & Benefits -> Performance -> Exit -> Retention / Deletion
The review can cover HR files, payroll data, contractor records, attendance systems, biometric records, medical or insurance information, nominee and family details, employee communications, background verification and vendor platforms.
Typical outputs
A focused review may produce an employee data-flow snapshot, HR personal-data category register, payroll / HRMS / vendor mapping, access and sharing observations, retention and deletion gap view, AI usage observations, preliminary HR privacy action points and management summary.
Legal review
Legal review may be required for employment notices, consent language, employee monitoring, background verification clauses, disciplinary records, biometric usage, health data, retention obligations, employment contracts and regulatory or litigation-related matters.
