About DPDPA Shield

India's first purpose-built DPDPA compliance platform.

Built by practitioners who understand that compliance isn't just legal advice — it's operational infrastructure.

12DPDPA modules covered
5Penalty risk areas addressed
22Indian languages supported

Our Mission

We built DPDPA Shield because Indian businesses deserved a compliance platform designed for Indian law — not a GDPR tool retrofitted for DPDPA.

Every feature maps directly to a specific section of the Act or Rule. The consent notice builder implements DPDPA Section 5 and Rule 3. The breach manager implements Section 8(6) and Rule 7. The rights portal implements Sections 11–14 and Rule 12. There are no features in DPDPA Shield that don't have a legal obligation behind them.

We believe compliance infrastructure should be as much a part of a product-led Indian startup's stack as Stripe for payments or AWS for hosting. DPDPA Shield is that piece for data protection.

Who We're Built For

DPDPA Shield is built for Indian SMEs and startups: teams of 10 to 500 that collect and process personal data of Indian citizens — e-commerce platforms, SaaS companies, fintech apps, healthtech startups, HR software providers.

Specifically, the kind of team that:

  • Does not have a 6-person compliance team — but has a CTO who cares about doing the right thing
  • Knows DPDPA is coming but doesn't know where to start
  • Has been using a GDPR tool and wondering if it actually covers Indian law
  • Needs to show investors, customers, or an enterprise client that they take data protection seriously

We also work with enterprise customers and businesses outside India that process Indian residents' data — DPDPA applies to them too.

Our Principles

Evidence-first

Every action on DPDPA Shield — a consent given, a rights request processed, a breach reported — generates an immutable, timestamped audit trail. When a regulator asks, you have proof.

Automation over documentation

The right answer to DPDPA compliance is not a 40-tab spreadsheet or a folder of signed PDFs. It's systems that do the work: automatic SLA alerts, automatic consent records, automatic breach timers.

SME-priced

Serious compliance infrastructure should not require an enterprise budget. We built DPDPA Shield to be affordable for teams of 10 or 10,000.
