Your KYC flow is collecting personal data. Your compliance isn't keeping up.

Fintech companies collect more personal data per user than almost any other industry — PAN, Aadhaar reference, bank details, credit behaviour. DPDPA holds you to a higher standard. DPDPA Shield makes it automatable.

Three DPDPA risks fintech companies get wrong

S.5 & S.6 · ₹250Cr

KYC Consent Is Not DPDPA Consent

Your KYC flow collects PAN, address, and bank data. The consent buried in your terms of service does not meet DPDPA S.6 — it's bundled, it's not purpose-specific, and there's no withdrawal mechanism for KYC data post-onboarding. Every user who onboarded before you fix this is a liability.

S.8(6) · ₹200Cr

Breach Notification in a Regulated Sector

A payment data breach in fintech doesn't just trigger DPDPA — it triggers RBI cybersecurity reporting obligations simultaneously. You need a breach workflow that handles both the 72-hour DPDPA Board notification and your sector-specific regulator obligations, with an immutable evidence trail for both.

RoPA · Multi-regulator

RoPA for Multi-Regulator Audits

Fintech companies face audits from DPDPA's Data Protection Board, RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI — depending on their vertical. Each regulator wants to see your data processing records. Maintaining separate documentation for each audit is operationally unsustainable. You need one RoPA that satisfies all of them.

How It Works

How DPDPA Shield works inside a fintech stack

01

Embed consent into onboarding (Day 1)

Add 2 lines of JS to your onboarding flow. The consent widget handles KYC-adjacent data consent separately from account creation. Purpose-specific. Timestamped. Stored as cryptographic proof.

02

Rights portal for your lending/payments users (Week 1)

Your users can request their credit decisioning data, request correction of inaccurate information, and invoke erasure after loan closure. All routed to your team with 30-day SLA enforcement.

03

Breach workflow for payment data incidents (Always on)

Payment data breaches are high-severity under DPDPA classification. When one is logged, the 72-hour clock starts, severity is classified as High automatically, and the Board notification package is pre-filled within minutes.

04

RoPA export for regulator submissions (On demand)

Your full Record of Processing Activities — KYC flows, credit decisioning, fraud detection, payment processing — in a regulator-ready PDF. One click before any audit.
