AI Platform for
DPDP Compliance &
Data Governance
AI-powered DPDP compliance platform that automates policy management, evidence collection, and auditor reviews with secure BYOC storage in AWS, GCP, or SharePoint.
Client Overview
Indian fintech company required to comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023. They needed a centralized compliance system that never stores sensitive data outside their own cloud.
Technology Stack
Challenges
Manual Tracking
Manual tracking of 50+ DPDP controls, evidence, policies, and tasks was slow and error-prone.
Data Sovereignty Rules
Strict data sovereignty rules prohibited uploading files to any external platform.
TPRM Questionnaires
Repetitive TPRM questionnaires wasted hours on manual research.
Auditor Reviews
Auditor reviews were inefficient and risky due to full-access sharing.
Reporting & Scoring
No real-time compliance score or automated reports for management/audits.
Multi-Storage Support
Support for multiple storage providers (AWS, GCP, SharePoint) was complex.
Solutions
01. Tenant isolation
Tenant isolation via PostgreSQL Row-Level Security and subdomain-based routing.
- Cryptographic logical segregation at the database layer.
- Strict metadata isolation for every organization.
02. Storage abstraction layer
Storage abstraction layer using signed URLs (AWS/GCP) and Microsoft Graph (SharePoint) — files stay in client's bucket.
- Adapter-based system for S3, GCP, and MS Graph.
- Zero-knowledge storage: platform only holds metadata pointers.
03. Pre-loaded DPDP framework
Pre-loaded DPDP framework with status tracking, assignments, and bottom-up compliance scoring.

05. AI Questionnaire Assistant
AI Questionnaire Assistant (GPT-4o + Pinecone) that suggests accurate answers from the client's own library.
- GPT-4o + Pinecone RAG-based intelligence.
- Auto-generation of responses for complex TPRM questionnaires.
06. Task management & Auditor Portal
Task management with email reminders + secure, time-limited Auditor Portal. Live dashboard and one-click PDF/Excel reports.
