Other emerging privacy frameworks (for example, India’s DPDP Act, APAC laws)
Privacy regulation is evolving rapidly beyond Europe and North America. New and revised laws in countries such as India, across APAC and in parts of the Middle East and Latin America are introducing GDPR-like principles with local twists: new terminology, different roles, unique registration or localisation rules and sector-specific expectations.
GDPR Register is built to accommodate this moving target by letting you extend your privacy programme, rather than rebuild it every time a new law appears.
Flexible data inventory for new regimes
Instead of creating separate tools for each new framework, you can adapt your existing records.
With GDPR Register you can:
- Use your core data inventory as a baseline and add custom fields for new legal concepts (for example local legal bases, registration numbers, localisation flags)
- Tag processing activities, systems and vendors by country or law (for example India DPDP, Singapore PDPA, Australia Privacy Act, PDPA Thailand)
- Import local Excel inventories and merge them into your global structure without losing regional nuances
- Keep one consistent view of processing, with filters that surface what is relevant for each framework
Custom templates for assessments and documentation
New frameworks often require assessments or documentation that look similar in spirit to DPIAs or risk assessments, but with different questions and emphasis.
GDPR Register enables you to:
- Configure custom assessment templates aligned with emerging laws (for example impact assessments under India’s DPDP Act or local sector guidelines)
- Reuse your DPIA and risk structures, but adapt terminology and scoring to local expectations
- Standardise how different regions document high-risk processing, decisions and justifications
- Export reports that can be shared with regional leadership or local regulators
Controllers, processors and local roles
Many emerging laws define roles similar to controllers and processors, but may also introduce specific local roles (for example local representatives or officers).
With GDPR Register you can:
- Add role-specific fields and tags for regional concepts, such as local data fiduciaries, processors, representatives or contact points
- Map which entities or branches are in scope of which frameworks and roles
- Link local roles, such as regional privacy leads, to the processing activities and systems they oversee
Cross-border transfers and localisation
Several newer regimes introduce rules about data leaving the country, or require that certain categories stay local.
GDPR Register helps you:
- Record data localisation requirements as attributes of processing activities and systems
- Track where data is stored and accessed, including regional data centres and cross-border transfers
- Link transfer safeguards or localisation controls to the relevant activities and vendors
- Integrate these aspects into your overall risk view, so conflicts between regimes can be identified early
Data subject rights and regional nuances
Individual rights are becoming a common feature of new frameworks, but their scope and process can vary.
With GDPR Register you can:
- Manage rights requests in a single register while tagging them by applicable framework or country
- Adapt request categories and workflows so they reflect regional rights and timeframes
- Link requests to the relevant systems and teams in each region
- Maintain an audit trail that supports both local and global accountability expectations
A global framework that keeps evolving
The key challenge with emerging frameworks is change. GDPR Register supports a global, multi-regulation approach by:
- Letting you extend your existing model with new fields, templates and tags instead of starting again
- Providing dashboards and filters that highlight which activities, systems and vendors are affected by specific new laws
- Allowing regional privacy teams to work within a structure that still fits your global standards
In short: GDPR Register gives you the flexibility to incorporate emerging frameworks – such as India’s DPDP Act and other APAC or regional laws – into one coherent privacy programme. You keep a single, adaptable platform for records, assessments, vendors, rights and risks, even as the legal landscape continues to evolve.
