Why Data Discovery Matters for DPDPA
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023, organisations must know exactly what personal data they hold, where it resides, and how it flows. Without comprehensive data discovery, compliance is impossible. Section 4 mandates lawful processing for a specific purpose — and you cannot demonstrate lawful processing if you don't know what data exists in your systems.
Automated PII Detection
Kraver.ai uses AI and machine learning to automatically scan structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data across your entire infrastructure. Our detection engine identifies:
Cross-System Data Flow Mapping
Personal data rarely stays in one place. Kraver.ai maps complete data flows across your organisation — from the point of collection through processing, storage, sharing, and eventual deletion. This gives you a real-time visual map of how personal data moves between systems, departments, and third-party processors.
Third-Party Data Sharing Inventory
DPDPA Section 8(7) requires Data Fiduciaries to maintain oversight of data processors. Kraver.ai automatically inventories every third-party entity with whom personal data is shared, tracks contractual safeguards, and flags processors without adequate data protection agreements.
Real-Time Data Lineage Tracking
Unlike point-in-time audits, Kraver.ai provides continuous data lineage tracking. Every transformation, copy, or movement of personal data is logged and visualised. This is critical for responding to Data Principal access requests under Section 11 — you can trace exactly where a person's data has travelled.
Shadow IT Discovery
Employees often use unauthorised tools — personal Google Drives, unapproved SaaS apps, local spreadsheets — that contain personal data outside your governance perimeter. Kraver.ai's shadow IT discovery module finds personal data in these blind spots, helping you bring all data under compliance oversight.
