GoTrust is helping enterprises strengthen their data-breach preparedness and privacy practices by enabling greater visibility, control and management of personal and sensitive information across complex digital environments.
With the DPDP Rules notified in November 2025 and enforcement, including penalties of up to Rs 250 crore, set to take effect by May 2027, enterprises are increasingly focused on translating regulatory requirements into operational privacy readiness.
Industry indicators highlight the challenges organisations continue to face, with 70 per cent of organisations struggling to interpret the regulation, while 80 per cent are yet to update their privacy policies or frameworks. At the same time, the average cost of a data breach in India reached Rs 22 crore in 2025, further increasing the importance of proactive data protection.
Enterprises are managing personal data across disconnected systems and third-party platforms, while also dealing with manual deletion processes, limited visibility into processors and sub-processors, fragmented consent records and unstructured breach-response processes.
GoTrust addresses these challenges through an integrated approach covering Data Discovery, PII Classification, Data Mapping, Risk Assessment and Vendor Risk Management. Its platform offers 300+ pre-built connectors across databases, data lakes, storage platforms and SaaS applications, helping organisations identify where personal and sensitive information resides and understand how it is being used.
The platform further connects discovered data with processing purposes, consent status and data flows, while its Risk Register and Assessment Management capabilities help organisations identify, prioritise and track privacy risks. Its Vendor Risk Management capabilities extend this visibility to third-party data access and associated risks.
Himanshu Gautam, Founder & CEO, GoTrust, said that data privacy is increasingly becoming an important part of enterprise risk management, particularly as organisations adopt AI, cloud platforms and interconnected digital systems. He highlighted GoTrust’s focus on helping enterprises identify risks early and build stronger and more consistent privacy practices.
The demand for proactive privacy and data security solutions is growing across BFSI, healthcare, e-commerce and consumer platforms, where organisations manage significant volumes of personal and sensitive information. Evolving regulations, third-party exposure and increasing AI adoption are further driving the need for stronger data governance.
GoTrust follows a privacy-focused architecture, with customer data remaining within the client’s environment and not being used to train external AI models. The platform supports privacy requirements across DPDP, GDPR, UAE PDPL, KSA PDPL, LGPD and CPRA.
Looking ahead, GoTrust aims to help enterprises move towards continuous data discovery, risk monitoring and privacy management, enabling organisations to identify potential risks earlier and strengthen their overall data protection practices.
