The problem

Your data processing chain is only as compliant as the weakest vendor in it. Most Indian organisations have no idea how many third parties touch their personal data, what countries those vendors operate from, whether their Data Processing Agreements include the DPDP clauses, or when each vendor was last reviewed. When the Data Protection Board asks for your vendor inventory, "we'll get back to you" is not an acceptable answer.

What you get

Capabilities, not feature toggles

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

01

Vendor inventory

A live register of every processor and sub-processor that touches your personal data. Each entry has the data categories shared, the legal basis, the country of processing, and the contract reference.

02

DPDP clause checker

Upload your Data Processing Agreement and AutoCops scans for the DPDP-required clauses (purpose limitation, security obligations, sub-processor disclosure, cross-border restrictions, audit rights). Missing clauses are flagged for renegotiation.

03

Cross-border tracker

Every vendor's data residency is tracked against the current Section 16 notification list. When the Government adds a country to the restricted list, AutoCops shows you exactly which vendors are now affected.

04

Diligence cadence

High-risk vendors get reviewed annually. Medium-risk every 18 months. Low-risk every 3 years. AutoCops schedules and tracks the reviews automatically.

05

Vendor questionnaire

Send a templated DPDP questionnaire to your vendors via a public link. They fill it out, you review the answers, and the responses are stored against the vendor record.

06

Sub-processor disclosure

Vendors who add or change sub-processors are required (under their contract) to notify you. AutoCops gives you a public sub-processor change feed for your customers in turn.

How it works

From zero to live in days, not months

  1. 1

    Bulk-import vendors

    CSV upload from your procurement system. AutoCops dedupes and creates a vendor record for each.

  2. 2

    Score them

    Run each vendor through the DPDP clause checker. AutoCops produces a risk score and flags the gaps.

  3. 3

    Send the questionnaire

    For high-risk vendors, send the structured questionnaire. Their responses feed back into the score.

  4. 4

    Schedule reviews

    Each vendor gets a next-review date. AutoCops nudges your team when a review is due.

Common questions

Things buyers ask in the demo

What if a vendor refuses to sign our updated DPA?+

AutoCops produces an exception report listing every vendor that's out of compliance. You bring that to your General Counsel for the contract enforcement conversation. The platform documents the exception so you have evidence of due diligence.
