The Problem

Most organisations don't know where their personal data is — let alone whether it's compliant.

The DPDP Act 2023 makes every organisation that processes personal data of Indian citizens a Data Fiduciary with legal obligations. Three gaps put most of them at risk.

📂

Unmapped Personal Data

Personal data doesn't stay in databases. It spreads into spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, shared drives and WhatsApp exports — invisible, ungoverned and unprotected. You can't protect what you can't see.

📝

Non-Compliant Consent

Bundled or pre-ticked consent violates the DPDP Act. Every lead form, admission form, and citizen service portal that collects data without free, specific, informed consent is a live liability.

⏱️

Rights Requests & Breaches Missed

Data principals can demand access, correction and erasure — and breaches must be notified fast. Without process and tooling, statutory timelines are missed and penalties become automatic.

The Privonta Shield Solution

One solution: software that finds and protects data, plus experts who make you compliant.

Privonta Shield combines the Siccura Regula governance platform with hands-on DPDP advisory — Identify, Protect, Control and Trace your sensitive data end-to-end.

Identify

Data Discovery & Classification

Explainable AI scans files, emails, folders and systems to find PII and sensitive data across your organisation — processed locally, so raw data never leaves your boundary.

Protect

Persistent Data Protection

Encryption and access control travel with the file itself — protection holds even when data is downloaded, shared or moves outside your network.

Control

Consent & Rights Management

DPDP-compliant notices and consent capture, one-click withdrawal, and workflows to fulfil data principal access, correction and erasure requests on time.

Trace

Audit Trails & Breach Readiness

Every action on sensitive data is logged and explainable — giving you audit-ready evidence, RoPA support and rapid breach assessment within the 72-hour window.
