Data Security Posture Management

Discover, classify, and govern sensitive data across your stack — with every finding tied back to a DPDP section, a Data Principal, and a documented purpose.

The problem

You cannot protect what you cannot see. Most Indian organisations have personal data sprayed across object stores, warehouses, document repositories, GenAI prompts, and shadow databases — and no inventory that ties any of it back to a Data Principal, a consent record, or a documented purpose. When a breach hits, when a Section 13 erasure request lands, or when the Board asks for proof of "reasonable security safeguards," the answer cannot be a 30-day discovery sprint. AutoCops DSPM is the live, principal-centric data inventory that the rest of the DPDP platform reads from.

What you get

Capabilities, not feature toggles

Every capability below is a working part of the AutoCops application — not a roadmap promise.

01

Connector-first discovery

Native connectors for Elasticsearch, Postgres, MSSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, S3, GCS, Azure Blob, SharePoint, Google Drive, and the major SaaS suites. Crawl on a schedule, on a webhook, or on demand. New sources land in the inventory within minutes of being connected.

02

India-native PII detection

Four-layer detection: regex → Presidio + spaCy NER → fine-tuned ML classifier → checksum validation. Aadhaar (Verhoeff), PAN (entity-type), GSTIN (checksum), VID, voter ID, driving licence, passport — validated, not just matched. Demonstrably lower false-positive rate than regex-only tools.

03

Principal-centric inventory

Every discovery is resolved to a Data Principal where possible. The same inventory that powers DSPM also powers DSR fan-out, breach-impact estimation, and consent-withdrawal verification — no parallel data plumbing.

04

Exposure detection

Public S3 buckets, world-readable cloud storage, anonymous Elasticsearch clusters, Postgres `0.0.0.0/0` rules, over-privileged service accounts, and broad IAM grants. Severity-scored CRITICAL → LOW with a remediation playbook attached to each finding.

05

DPDP control bridge

Every finding is mapped to a specific DPDP Act section (4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 16). When DSPM detects unconsented processing, the consent module gets a re-scan task. When an exposure is found, the breach module is primed. Closed-loop, not a separate dashboard.

06

GenAI & LLM proxy

Sit in front of OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, and Bedrock as a transparent proxy. Detect, mask, and log personal data leaving for any LLM. Block prompts that violate purpose limitation. Ship-quality DLP for the AI stack — without rewriting your apps.

07

Break-glass unmask + audit

Raw values are never persisted — discoveries store hashes, masked snippets, and source coordinates only. When a CISO needs the actual value, a DPO approves a 15-minute one-shot token; the value is re-fetched from the source on demand and cleared from the browser within 30 seconds. Self-approval is blocked. Every state change lands in a chain-of-custody audit row.

08

Risk heatmap & re-scan

Sources × sensitivity heatmap, top-10 riskiest sources, PII distribution charts, exposure feed, and an unresolved-finding worker that re-resolves stale matches as your data layout shifts. Drift surfaces before it becomes an audit finding.

How it works

From zero to live in days, not months

  1. 1

    Connect

    Wire AutoCops DSPM to your data sources — cloud storage, databases, SaaS suites, the LLM proxy. Read-only scoped credentials, your VPC, your KMS keys.

  2. 2

    Discover & classify

    The four-layer detection pipeline scans every source, classifies each document by sensitivity, and resolves matches back to Data Principals. New sources are picked up on a configurable cadence.

  3. 3

    Score exposure

    Public buckets, anonymous clusters, broad IAM grants, and service-account anomalies are flagged with CRITICAL → LOW severity. Each finding carries a remediation playbook and a DPDP section reference.

  4. 4

    Act through the platform

    Findings flow into the existing DPDP modules — consent re-scan, breach prep, RoPA refresh, vendor risk. One audit trail, one operator workspace, one source of truth.

  5. 5

    Re-verify

    DSPM continuously re-resolves unresolved findings as schemas and access policies evolve. Drift, new exposures, and consent-withdrawal violations are caught on the next sweep — not at the next audit.

Common questions

Things buyers ask in the demo

How is this different from Securiti, Varonis, or Seqrite Data Privacy?+

Standalone DSPM tools dump findings into yet another dashboard. AutoCops DSPM is embedded inside the DPDP governance platform — every finding is mapped to a DPDP Act section, a Data Principal, and a downstream module (consent, DSR, breach). Indian-validation logic (Aadhaar Verhoeff, PAN entity-type, GSTIN checksum) is native, not bolted on, and the entire module ships from one codebase that you self-host.

Do I have to buy the whole DPDP platform?+

No. DSPM ships in three SKUs from one codebase: DPDP-only (existing), DSPM-only standalone (security-led buyers, CISOs), and the DPDP + DSPM bundle (regulated industries — banking, insurance, healthcare, telco). Same binary, different license.

What about LLMs and GenAI?+

AutoCops DSPM ships with transparent proxies for OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, and Bedrock. Personal data flowing into prompts is detected, masked or blocked per policy, and logged into the same audit ledger. You get DLP for the AI stack without changing your application code.

Is this available today?+

Yes — DSPM is generally available in AutoCops v2.1.3. Plan your upgrade with our compliance engineering team; existing customers can enable DSPM behind a license flag with no second deployment.
