Buyer's guide

Compare DPDP consent platforms.

Set the evaluation criteria before a vendor sets them for you.

Most vendor comparisons are written by the vendor who wins them. Here are the six criteria that actually decide whether a consent platform holds up in front of the Data Protection Board — set them yourself before a sales deck sets them for you.

The criteria that matter

Six questions that decide a DPDP consent platform.

Encryption and access controls are table stakes — every vendor has them. These six are where platforms actually diverge, and where a DPBI inquiry will find the gaps.

01

Consent evidence mechanism

Ask what the record actually is. An editable log row is an assertion. A SHA-256 hash chain with RSA signatures and an RFC 3161 timestamp is evidence. The mechanism is the whole product — demand it by name.
02

Tamper-evidence / alterability

Can a database administrator silently change a consent flag and its timestamp with nothing in the record revealing it? If yes, the platform records consent but cannot prove it. Tampering must be self-evident, not deniable.
03

India-incorporation and Rule 4 eligibility

DPDP Rule 4 Consent Manager registration is open to India-incorporated entities meeting data-residency and interoperability obligations. A foreign-incorporated tool cannot register — no matter how good the feature list.
04

Eighth Schedule language coverage

Rule 3 notices must be available in English plus any of the 22 Eighth Schedule languages. English-only templates with manual translation are a compliance gap, not a localisation preference.
05

DPR SLA automation

Access, correction, erasure and grievance requests carry statutory clocks. A platform that tracks them in spreadsheets cannot evidence on-time fulfilment when the Board asks.
06

Breach deadline discipline

§8(6) and Rule 7 require the Board and every affected person to be told of a breach, on deadlines that start at discovery. Ad hoc breach handling burns that window. The platform must track every deadline from discovery, with notifications, approvals, and an evidence trail built in.

How Vishwaas AI compares

Nine differences you can check in a demo.

The six questions above apply to any vendor. These are the nine places Vishwaas AI goes further — each one something you can ask to see live, not take on trust.

Typical consent tool
Vishwaas AI
✕A GDPR platform with an India module bolted on
✓Built for the DPDP Act from day one — Rule 3 notices, §7 legitimate uses, every DPDP right SLA-tracked
✕A compliance register that is right on the day it is built, then goes stale
✓A live RoPA running 21 compliance checks continuously, each gap linked to the record that fixes it
✕Discovery that only says personal data exists somewhere
✓Finds personal data across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, databases, file shares and on-prem — and checks each finding against the DPDP Act
✕Consent stored as a database row an admin can quietly edit
✓An append-only, hash-chained, signed ledger with RFC 3161 timestamps, locked to the exact notice version and language
✕Two people sharing a phone or email merged into one record
✓Collisions routed to human review — never a silent merge or split — and operators see masked identifiers only
✕A withdrawal your CRM never hears about
✓Every grant, withdrawal and erasure pushed to your systems in real time over signed webhooks, with retries
✕Web and app consent only
✓Paper, agent and call-centre consent through validated CSV uploads of up to 1 lakh rows, into the same ledger
✕English templates, translated by hand
✓Notices, consent text and the Data Principal portal in all 22 Eighth Schedule languages plus English
✕Guardians and nominees left to manual workarounds
✓§9 guardian consent and §14 nominees as built workflows, every action recorded on the person’s behalf
