As Indian enterprises prepare for the enforcement of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) in 2027, privacy and data governance platform GoTrust is positioning itself as a key enabler of compliance and cyber resilience through enhanced data discovery and privacy management capabilities.
With penalties under the DPDPA expected to reach up to ₹250 crore for non-compliance, organizations are increasingly focusing on strengthening privacy frameworks, data governance practices, and breach preparedness. However, many enterprises continue to struggle with fragmented data environments, limited visibility into personal information, and the operational complexities of meeting evolving regulatory requirements.
GoTrust addresses these challenges through an integrated platform that provides Data Discovery, PII Classification, Data Mapping, Risk Assessment, and Vendor Risk Management capabilities. With more than 300 pre-built connectors spanning databases, data lakes, storage platforms, and SaaS applications, the platform enables enterprises to identify where personal and sensitive data resides and understand how it is processed across digital ecosystems.
The urgency is underscored by industry trends. According to the company, nearly 70% of organizations face challenges in interpreting privacy regulations, while 80% have yet to fully update their privacy policies and governance frameworks. At the same time, the average cost of a data breach in India has climbed to ₹22 crore, highlighting the growing business impact of inadequate data protection measures.
Commenting on the evolving privacy landscape, Himanshu Gautam, Founder and CEO of GoTrust, said that data privacy is rapidly moving beyond a compliance obligation to become a core component of enterprise risk management. As organizations increasingly adopt AI, cloud services, and interconnected digital platforms, he noted that greater visibility into personal data usage is essential for identifying risks early and establishing stronger privacy controls.
The platform is witnessing growing interest from sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, e-commerce, and consumer services, where large volumes of sensitive information require continuous monitoring and governance. Supporting regulations including DPDPA, GDPR, UAE PDPL, KSA PDPL, LGPD, and CPRA, GoTrust aims to help enterprises transition toward continuous privacy management and proactive risk monitoring in an increasingly data-driven world.
