Why DPDPA Shield

Most compliance tools give you a snapshot. We give you a live picture, with proof.

Three things DPDPA Shield does differently, built for what actually happens after you're “compliant on paper.”

01Continuous discovery, not a one-time scan
02Two regulatory clocks, tracked in parallel
03Evidence that holds up, not just a database

Continuous discovery, not a one-time scan

A data inventory built once is accurate for exactly one day. Most data discovery exercises hand you a PDF. It is correct on delivery day. Then someone adds a new spreadsheet with customer data, connects a new SaaS tool without review, or a database table nobody flagged shows up, and the PDF quietly stops being true.

Our Data Map module doesn't work that way. It runs on a schedule matched to your plan, remembers every asset it has ever found across its full lifecycle, and tells you specifically what's new since last time, with priority alerts when personal data appears in a sensitive category, such as health or financial information, somewhere it wasn't before.

That is the difference between a compliance exercise and compliance infrastructure.

Two regulatory clocks, tracked in parallel

Most breach response plans track one deadline. Under Indian law right now, you actually have two, and they are not the same clock.

CERT-In's Directions, 2022 require intimation within 6 hours of becoming aware of a breach. The DPDPA 2023, Section 8(6) and Rule 7, require a separate detailed report to the Data Protection Board within 72 hours. These are distinct obligations with distinct timelines, and teams that build a single breach runbook around only one of them often discover the other has already expired.

DPDPA Shield runs both clocks in parallel automatically from the moment an incident is logged, with Rule 7-compliant reports generated, not drafted from scratch under pressure.

Evidence that holds up, not just a database

“We are compliant” and “we can prove we are compliant” are different claims, and only one of them survives a regulator inquiry.

Every consent, every rights request, and every breach action on DPDPA Shield is stored with a SHA-256 cryptographic hash in write-once storage. Records are not editable and cannot be quietly backdated. What you have is a timestamped chain of custody built for the conversation with the Data Protection Board, not just the conversation with your own team.

Built for the sectors with the most at stake

Early demand for DPDPA compliance tooling is concentrated in regulation-heavy sectors: healthcare, BFSI, government-adjacent services, and any business handling sensitive personal data at scale. These are exactly the sectors where a missed breach clock or a stale data inventory carries the highest exposure. DPDPA Shield is built with that reality as the default, not an enterprise add-on.
