ARKA DPDP Shield
Find, classify and protect personal data, and run consent and breach-notification workflows under India's DPDP Act.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its Rules make every organisation that processes Indian personal data accountable for knowing where that data is, why it holds it, and how it is protected. Penalties go up to ₹250 crore per instance. DPDP Shield gives privacy and security teams one platform to discover personal data across databases, file shares, SaaS and endpoints; map it to purposes and consents; and respond to data-principal requests and breaches on time.
AI-based classifiers recognise Indian identifiers such as Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, passport, UPI IDs and bank accounts, in English and Indian languages.
