Compliance Architecture for Digital Businesses: Integrating IP, Data, and Brand Governance
This article is written by Sakshi Singh, pursuing a BBA.LL.B (Hons.) from Rashtriya Raksha University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
The digital revolution has completely altered the functioning of businesses such that the nexus between intellectual property law, data protection laws, and brand governance laws cannot be effectively managed through conventional legal frameworks. Digital businesses not only process large amounts of personal data but also create brand value as well as safeguard innovative technologies. The current research article discusses how compliance in digital businesses has to incorporate all three aspects and provide for a compliance architecture that does not segregate compliance as legal requirements in isolation but rather integrates it as a technical solution to meet all of the requirements. In particular, the compliance architecture for digital businesses, especially in India in view of the new regulations, such as Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and the newly enacted DPDP Rules, 2025, will be elaborated. Through the current analysis, the researchers have attempted to establish how compliance has changed from being purely legal in nature to architectural in character. For legal practitioners, especially those who practice in the domain of corporate law and digital business compliance, this change will be of immense significance.
