DPDP PRIVACY OPERATIONS PLATFORM

Zycato runs privacy operations against India's DPDP Act 2023 and the DPDP Rules 2025: consent, data subject rights, retention, vendor risk and breach response, with every action writing into one record. The same platform carries your GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and ISO 27701 obligations, so when a customer, a regulator or your own board asks a question, the answer comes from one place.

Why Zycato

Built for Privacy. Built by SQ1 Security.

Most compliance platforms treat privacy as one control set among many. Zycato is built only for privacy, by SQ1 Security, the team behind Stakflo (our governance, risk and compliance platform) and Scani5 (our security scanning product). Privacy gets its own platform, its own roadmap and its own queue.

No Shared Priority Queue

Privacy deadlines don't wait for an unrelated audit cycle. Zycato runs on privacy timelines only, so rights-request windows and breach intimation clocks never compete with SOC 2 or ISO evidence collection.

One Record, Not a Stack of Tools

Consent, rights, discovery, risk, governance, automation and reporting all write into the same record, so nothing has to be reconciled later.

Depth Over Breadth

Consent capture, ROPA (record of processing activities) and DPIA (data protection impact assessment) workflows are written to the specifics of the DPDP Rules, then extended to GDPR and CCPA/CPRA.

Speaks the Language of Privacy Teams

Data Protection Officers (DPOs), legal and privacy engineering teams work in the language of the statute, not generic controls. Zycato's workflows use the same terms: notice, purpose, lawful basis, retention, erasure, breach intimation.

How Zycato Works: Know, Run, Prove

Three Lines of Work. One Record Underneath.

Everything in Zycato sits on three lines of work: know what personal data you hold, run the promises you made about it, and prove both happened.

Line of Work

What It Covers

KNOW

Data Discovery & ROPA. Sources, discovery, classification, flow maps, and a record of processing that builds itself from what is actually found.

RUN

Consent & Rights Management, Privacy Management, Vendor & Third-Party Risk, Policy & Governance, Privacy Workflow Automation, Incident & Breach Response. The day-to-day workflows that carry out what you promised.

PROVE

Compliance & Reporting, Framework Mapping, Audit Readiness. Live posture, evidence, and the pack you hand to a board, a regulator or a customer.

Core Capabilities

Everything You Need to RunPrivacy Compliance , Day to Day

Consent & Rights Management

Define each purpose once, capture it at every front door (web, mobile, IVR, branch counter and agent-assisted) and hold it on one consent ledger. Withdrawal is pushed to the connected systems that relied on that consent, and each one returns an acknowledgement that processing stopped.

Data Discovery & ROPA

Locate personal data across databases, warehouses, file shares, SaaS estates and endpoints, including copies nobody declared. Discovery connections are read-only and metadata-only: classification runs in place, and only the location, category and purpose reach Zycato, never the data itself. Your record of processing builds from what discovery finds, not from what someone remembered to log.

Privacy Management

Score and own privacy risks, run assessments triggered by what changed, and close incidents with the remediation recorded against the finding rather than filed separately.

Vendor & Third-Party Risk

Assess processor and third-party privacy risk and run DPIAs without manual spreadsheets. A sub-processor change raises an alert with a named owner attached, so accountability doesn't lapse after signature.

Policy & Governance

Maintain privacy policies and notices with version, approver, reader and date on record. When a rule or schedule changes, the affected policies and notices are surfaced for review automatically.

Privacy Workflow Automation

Routine privacy work runs on its own: intake, gather, draft, route. It stops at any step that needs a named person to decide, and that decision is captured with their name against it.

Framework Mapping

Map a control once and see every privacy law it already satisfies, across the DPDP Rules, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and ISO 27701.

Audit Readiness

Evidence updates as work happens, so an audit becomes a query rather than a project.

Compliance & Reporting

See your compliance posture as it stands today, reconstruct it for any past date, and build board packs, regulator responses and trust pages from one source.

Incident & Breach Response

Flag a breach and the intimation workflow starts with the clock already running. Zycato resolves the affected population from the data graph, rather than reconstructing it by hand while the window closes.

Industry & Frameworks

Built to the DPDP Act. Ready for GDPR, CCPA and More.

Zycato is written to the DPDP Act 2023 and the DPDP Rules 2025, because they are the strictest regime most Indian enterprises will face. The same discovery graph, consent ledger and control set carry the rest of your regulatory footprint, so exposure outside India doesn't mean running a second privacy platform.

Region / Category

Covered

India

DPDP Act 2023 and DPDP Rules 2025, SPDI Rules, CERT-In directions, and RBI, SEBI and IRDAI retention norms

Global privacy

GDPR (EU and UK), CCPA/CPRA, US state privacy laws, PIPEDA, LGPD, POPIA

Asia and Gulf

PDPA Singapore, PDPL Saudi Arabia, UAE PDPL, Australia Privacy Act

Standards and AI

ISO/IEC 27701, NIST Privacy Framework, EU AI Act, and DPDP Rule 13(3) algorithmic due diligence

One obligation library with jurisdiction overlays: map a control once and it counts in every regime it applies to. Where regimes diverge, Zycato flags the conflict rather than forcing a single interpretation. DPDP's pre-erasure notice duty against GDPR's open-ended storage limitation is one example. New regimes are added to the library as they commence.

E-commerce & Retail Data Privacy Compliance

Customer profiles, purchase history, payment data and marketplace interactions, with consent, DSAR and retention workflows built into the customer journey.

SaaS & Technology Data Privacy Compliance

Cross-border user data, employee information, product analytics and cloud-hosted data. Data mapping, consent, DSAR automation and vendor risk across every region you operate in.

Healthcare & Pharma Data Privacy Compliance

Patient records, clinical trial data and sensitive health information. Consent management, records of processing, privacy impact assessments and controlled data access.

Manufacturing Data Privacy Compliance

Employee, supplier, customer and operational data across connected systems, with visibility into how data is processed across distributed operations and third parties.

BFSI Data Privacy Compliance

KYC records, transaction data, loan files and financial information. Consent, retention, rights requests, records of processing and third-party risk in one workflow, with RBI, SEBI and IRDAI retention overlays running alongside DPDP erasure duties.

Continuous Privacy Operations

One platform. Privacy operations, governed.

From consent and data discovery through rights, retention, assessments, audits and breach response, Zycato connects the workflows privacy teams need to run compliance as continuous operations.

Integrations

Zycato Connects to the Systems You Already Run

Nothing is re-keyed and nothing goes stale, because the connection stays live.

Data stores

Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, AWS S3, Azure Blob, file shares and backups.

Business applications

Salesforce, SAP, Workday, ServiceNow, Zoho, Freshworks, core banking, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace.

Identity, cloud and security

Okta, Entra ID, AWS, Azure, GCP, SIEM, DLP and EDR, supplying access, encryption and incident evidence from the tools already running.

Marketing and workflow

Braze, MoEngage, CleverTap, Jira, and email, SMS and WhatsApp gateways, so consent state is enforced where the sends actually happen.

Connectors run both ways: the same integration that finds personal data executes the erasure, pushes consent state downstream and collects the processor's attestation. Discovery is read-only by default, and the connector framework is open for anything not on the list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zycato brings these workflows together on one record, written to the DPDP Act 2023 and the DPDP Rules 2025 and extended to GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and ISO 27701.
