DPDP Data Discovery — from visibility to control.
An enterprise privacy control plane that continuously knows where personal data lives, why it's used, and whether every use is lawful.
Regulatory readiness
DPDP compliance with defensible, continuous privacy controls.
Operational precision
Eliminate manual discovery friction and accelerate rights handling.
Customer trust
Prove every data use is purposeful and lawful.
Personal data flows continuously. Most financial institutions can't see it.
Where is data flowing?
Blind spots in unstructured data, third-party systems, and cloud environments stay invisible to governance teams.
Why does it exist?
Consent-purpose disconnects, unclear retention justification, and poor lineage make lawful processing unverifiable.
Can we still use it?
No real-time visibility into retention violations, over-shared repositories, or compliance drift across systems.
From catalogues to control planes
Structural DPDP failure modes
Fragmented legacy + cloud architecture
Personal data scattered across CBS, CRM, data lakes, SaaS tools, and third-party processors with no unified visibility.
Weak metadata & consent-purpose gaps
Data collected for onboarding reappears in analytics and marketing without traceable consent. Purpose drift is invisible.
Unstructured data blind spots
KYC documents, call recordings, email threads, and shared drives contain dense personal data no structured catalogue can reach.
Overlapping retention obligations
RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and DPDP impose conflicting retention timelines. Banks can't distinguish legal retention from business convenience.
Five services. One integrated control plane.
Connector Space
Universal integration across 50+ data sources — on-prem, cloud, SaaS, endpoints, APIs.
Source Inventory
Live, centralised catalog with metadata, connectivity status, and asset health.
DIAS
Continuous incremental scanning, normalization, and intelligent data preparation.
RAID Agent
AI/ML detection of personal data — Indian formats, risk tagging, real-time classification.
Reports & Insights
Compliance reports, audit trails, DPDP rights fulfillment, and regulatory evidence.
What each service does
Connector Space
Universal integration layer
- —On-premises databases & legacy systems
- —Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- —SaaS apps & collaboration tools
- —Email archives, file shares, APIs
Source Inventory
Live data asset registry
- —Asset discovery — auto-cataloged sources
- —Metadata & lineage tracking
- —Continuous registry refresh
DIAS
Data ingestion & assembler system
- —Scanning modes — batch & streaming
- —Schema-aware ingestion
- —Normalization & deduplication
Scan Engine (RAID Agent)
AI/ML intelligence core
- —Pattern detection: regex, fuzzy, ML
- —Indian formats: Aadhaar, PAN, IFSC
- —Risk classification (H/M/L)
- —Sub-ms latency, 99.9% accuracy
Reports & Insights: compliance evidence engine
Compliance reporting
DPDP compliance reports, ROPA generation, regulatory reporting.
Rights fulfillment
Automated DSAR, correction workflows, erasure workflows.
Audit & evidence
Audit trail logging, compliance output, immutable history.
Dashboards
Compliance dashboard, discovery metrics, risk visualization.
Five stages of data discovery
Connect
Universal connectors across all data surfaces.
Classify
AI/ML detection and enrichment of personal data.
Trace
Lineage mapped to consent and purpose.
Enforce
Policy-driven access, retention, and deletion.
Audit
Evidence-grade compliance output on demand.
Discovery feeds metadata → Metadata enriches lineage → Lineage feeds policy → Policy controls enforcement → Enforcement produces audit evidence
InfaLENS: autonomous governance engine
Beyond discovery — the AI assistant that governs data 24/7 across your entire ecosystem.
Real-time detection
Millisecond latency, auto-tagging, anomaly flagging.
Intelligent classification
AI/ML tagging, format detection, risk-based labels.
Continuous learning
Accuracy improvement, format adaptation, false-positive reduction.
Autonomous governance
Policy execution, rights fulfillment, audit generation.
Downstream integration
DLP, IAM, and masking system feeds in real time.
