Compliance that doesn't widen your attack surface
Privacy programmes usually land on the security team whether or not they were consulted. This page answers the questions a CISO actually asks — starting with whether the tool itself is safe.
The five questions that decide this
A privacy tool is a new concentration of risk
Anything that indexes every piece of personal data you hold becomes a target. dpflo connects read-only and agentless, installs nothing on your systems, and runs with no outbound traffic by default — verifiable by egress inspection rather than by our word.
Platform securityYou cannot protect what you have not found
Shadow data is a security problem before it is a compliance one. Discovery finds the forgotten snapshot, the open bucket and the dev copy of production, and keeps a live inventory rather than a spreadsheet that was true last quarter.
Data discoveryTwo clocks, not one
CERT-In directions require reporting specified incidents within six hours of awareness. The DPDP Act separately requires notifying the Board and every affected Data Principal, with no materiality threshold. Runbooks and a report generator mean the deadline is a review step, not a drafting exercise at 2am.
Breach & CERT-InScoping an incident under time pressure
“Whose data was in that system” is the question that decides notification scope. Answering it from a live inventory beats answering it from memory while the clock runs.
Governance & auditProcurement will ask where it runs
Managed in an India region, inside your own data centre, or fully air-gapped with zero outbound traffic. The air-gapped claim is demonstrable — we will pull the cable in front of you.
Deployment optionsBring the questionnaire to the first call
We would rather work through it now than at the end of a procurement cycle.
