How the calculator works
Each answer adds weighted signals for applicability, consent, security, governance, scale, and urgency. The need index (0-100) summarises how strongly a structured DPDP programme is indicated. Gap bars show where controls are weakest so you can act in order, not all at once.

FAQ
Need Assessor questions
Is the DPDP Need Assessor free?
Yes. It is a free browser-based activity. No signup is required.
Is this a legal determination of DPDP applicability?
No. It helps you self-discover priorities. This site is an information resource, not a law firm. Confirm obligations with qualified counsel.
What does the need index mean?
A higher index means stronger signals that you should run a structured DPDP programme soon, based on role, scale, control gaps, and urgency.
Are my answers stored on a server?
No. Scoring runs in your browser. Only if you choose “Discuss these results” will a summary open in your email client to request a vendor introduction.
What should I do after I get results?
Review the priority actions, open the suggested solutions, check the compliance timeline, and request a vendor introduction if you want a scoped engagement.
