DPDP Act 2023 · India regulator first-class

India's privacy law, operationalised.

Sprinto, Vanta and Drata don't ship DPDP as a first-class framework. We do — because every Indian SaaS handling employee, customer, or lead data is a Data Fiduciary the moment the Act enforces. The platform keeps your data inventory current, surfaces consent-manager gaps, and keeps your DPIA evidence audit-ready continuously.

  • Data inventory, lawful-basis mapping, retention schedules — automated from your cloud
  • DPIA templates, Significant Data Fiduciary audit programmes, Consent Manager wiring
  • Section 33 penalty mapping · Schedule fines up to ₹250 Cr surfaced as control gaps

CERT-In Direction 20(3)/2022 · Six-hour reporting

When the breach is happening, minutes matter.

The six-hour CERT-In reporting window is the hardest deadline in Indian compliance. The platform pre-stages the report templates, the regulator coordinator contacts, and the evidence-preservation workflow — and integrates with the CERT-In empanelled IR firms in our partner network for the 24×7 response itself.

  • Pre-staged reporting templates · CERT-In, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI sectoral coordinators
  • Incident classification, evidence preservation, regulator notification workflow
  • Partner network of CERT-In empanelled IR firms · 24×7 retainer integrations

ISO 27001:2022 · ANSI accredited certification

ISO 27001:2022, continuously certified.

The 2022 revision added 11 new controls and reorganised Annex A into four domains. The platform maps every control to your existing systems, tracks operating effectiveness, and keeps the surveillance-audit clock running so your certification body finds an evidenced posture, not a pre-audit panic.

  • 93 Annex A controls auto-mapped from cloud, identity, ticketing, and HR systems
  • Internal audit, management review, and corrective action workflows tracked
  • Surveillance audit cadence — every 12 months, evidence pre-staged

VAPT through our partner network — evidence in your platform.

We are not a VAPT vendor; we are the platform that schedules, evidences, and audit-trails VAPT across our partner network of CERT-In empanelled firms. Findings flow into the platform, get auto-mapped to the controls they evidence, and stay in your continuous-monitoring loop.

  • Schedule and evidence VAPT through CERT-In empanelled partners in the network
  • Findings auto-mapped to SOC 2 / ISO / DPDP / SEBI control evidence
  • Re-test cycles tracked until findings close · audit-ready output

Why API4SOC2

India's compliance platform, built India-first.

We started this platform because Indian SaaS founders kept paying first-world rates for second-world tooling — and shipping their evidence to S3 buckets they couldn't legally inspect. We built API4SOC2 to keep evidence resident in Bharat, treat DPDP / SEBI / RBI / CERT-In as first-class frameworks, and price in rupees.

  • India regulators as first-class frameworks — not a "custom framework" upsell
  • Bharat-resident evidence · zero offshore data flows · zero FX surprise
  • Auditor portal designed for Indian CPA firms · CERT-In empanelled IR partner network
  • Priced in INR · transparent tiers · no dollar pass-through

How the platform delivers

One platform. Every framework. Continuous evidence.

Every framework, regardless of regulator, follows the same four-step rhythm. You always know which step you're in, what evidence is being collected this week, and which controls have drifted out of compliance.

  • Day 0 · Connect cloud, identity, ticketing, and HR systems · auto-evidence begins
  • Days 1–14 · Framework controls map to your environment · gaps surfaced
  • Days 15–60 · Remediation tracked · continuous evidence accumulates
  • Day 61+ · Auditor portal opens · CPA firm pulls evidence directly

Common questions

Things teams ask before signing.

Compliance procurement is fraught. Here's what most CISOs, CFOs and founders need to know in the first call. If your question isn't here, write to the partners directly.

[email protected]
Same frameworks, same rigour, fundamentally different economics. Our CERT-In empanelment is in process. Engagements are led by partners (not staffed to graduate consultants), priced in INR, and every artifact stays inside India.
For audit-ready teams, yes. We run readiness, evidence collection, control walkthroughs and the observation window in parallel where the framework allows. For greenfield engagements expect 6–9 months — we publish the timeline before we sign.
AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1) and on-prem Bengaluru. Nothing is replicated outside Indian jurisdiction. We sign a data-residency clause into every MSA. Clients with stricter requirements get a dedicated VPC.
No. Around a third of our clients are India-incorporated subsidiaries of US/EU parents. We also handle UAE VASP and cross-border DPDP advisory. Every engagement is delivered from India.
Weekly partner sync, asynchronous Slack channel, Jira-tracked findings, and a single shared dashboard with control status. Board pack is generated automatically every quarter — you don’t have to ask for it.
