The platform

Everything you need for DPDPA and GDPR compliance — in one platform.

Most organisations stitch together five or six different tools for consent banners, DSR ticketing, data mapping, and audit reports. That creates blind spots, duplicated effort, and compliance gaps that regulators can spot in minutes. PrivacyOS replaces that patchwork with one unified platform.

THE PRIVACYOS ADVANTAGE

Why Indian Businesses Choose PrivacyOS Over Fragmented Tools

The market is crowded with single-point tools — a basic cookie banner here, a manual DSR ticketing sheet there, and disconnected DPIA documents elsewhere. PrivacyOS replaces tool sprawl with a purpose-built, audit-ready compliance operating system.

01
Unified Architecture

Truly All-in-One Platform

Most platforms solve one or two pieces of the compliance puzzle. PrivacyOS unifies the entire lifecycle — consent management, automated PII discovery, DSR execution, breach response, vendor risk, and board-level reporting into a single pane of glass.

8 Modular EnginesExplore
02
DPDPA 2023 & DPDP Rules 2025

Native to Indian Regulations

Global legacy tools like OneTrust and Securiti were designed for GDPR and retrofitted for India. PrivacyOS is built natively for India — with Aadhaar/PAN discovery, 22-language consent notices, and dual-clock incident workflows aligned with MeitY.

Zero Bloat Licensing

Scales from Startups to Enterprises

Whether you are a fast-scaling 10-person venture processing early signups or an enterprise with cross-border operations, PrivacyOS adapts seamlessly. No multi-million lock-in contracts, and no stripped-down starter plans that leave you legally exposed.

100% Flexible TieringExplore
04
Hybrid Tech & Legal

Platform + Certified DPO Advisory

Software alone cannot satisfy statutory accountability. PrivacyOS pairs enterprise software with certified privacy practitioners (CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT) who review DPIAs, structure RoPAs, and serve as your dedicated outsourced Data Protection Officer.

05
Privacy + Security Synergy

Integrated Security & VAPT Audits

Privacy and cybersecurity cannot live in silos. PrivacyOS includes ISO 27001 readiness, SOC 2 Type II attestation roadmaps, and CERT-In empanelled penetration testing (VAPT) — eliminating the need for fragmented third-party security vendors.

  • A DPDPA compliance platform is software that helps organisations meet their obligations under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. It typically covers consent management, data subject rights automation, privacy impact assessments, breach notification, data discovery, vendor risk management, and compliance reporting. Instead of managing each obligation through separate tools and spreadsheets, a compliance platform brings everything into one system with audit trails and regulatory documentation.
