Mumbai: In response to the increasing complexity of data privacy regulations in India and across the globe, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP (Deloitte India) has entered into a strategic alliance with OneTrust, a global leader in privacy technology. The partnership aims to simplify privacy compliance, enable AI-ready governance, and help businesses drive responsible growth.
With India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 coming into effect — alongside global mandates such as GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and Singapore’s PDPA — organisations face a challenging compliance environment, especially in regulated sectors such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and consumer industries. Many businesses still rely on fragmented and manual systems, slowing response times and adding operational complexity.
The Deloitte–OneTrust alliance brings together Deloitte’s advisory, implementation, and orchestration expertise with OneTrust’s automated privacy and governance platform, offering organisations an integrated framework to manage privacy obligations at scale. The partnership will simplify workflows, enhance consent management, and embed privacy by design into daily business operations.
“As businesses increasingly prioritise privacy as a competitive differentiator, our collaboration with OneTrust marks a significant milestone in enabling scalable, intelligent and future-ready privacy operations for our clients. Our shared vision is to embed trust, transparency and responsible data use into the heart of digital transformation,” said Tarun Kaura, Partner, Deloitte India.
The alliance aims to help businesses transform compliance from a manual, resource-intensive task into a scalable, automated function. It will also support stronger governance, faster response to regulatory changes, and better decision-making through structured data oversight.
“As businesses prepare to keep pace with evolving data protection regulations, the need for clear governance structures and consistent privacy controls has never been more urgent. We help clients build these capabilities into the fabric of their operations. This alliance allows us to bring that approach to scale, combining Deloitte’s on-ground experience with OneTrust’s integrated and scalable platform to enable organisations to sustain compliance over time. This alliance allows organisations to streamline policies, improve data oversight and respond faster to regulatory changes,” said Mayuran Palanisamy, Partner, Deloitte India.
The alliance also addresses the growing need for structured data governance as organisations adopt new technologies and work with multiple vendors. This will enable businesses to embed privacy and trust into their digital ecosystems.
“Organisations across India are navigating a complex privacy landscape that requires a proactive and scalable approach. Deloitte India’s expertise in enterprise transformation and regulatory compliance, combined with the OneTrust platform’s extensive automated privacy and data governance capabilities, helps organisations meet DPDPA obligations with confidence. Through this alliance, organisations can accelerate innovation while ensuring trust and responsible data use,” said Ana Vertedor, Head of Partner Sales, International, OneTrust.
“Governance should be a catalyst for growth and responsible innovation. Our alliance with Deloitte India helps organisations automate and scale privacy, embedding DPDPA compliance into their business to drive trust and long-term value,” said Arvind Chandrashekar, Regional GTM Leader, OneTrust.
