PII Scanner & Data Discovery for DPDP Compliance
Discover, classify and inventory personal data everywhere it lives
KavachOne's PII Scanner is a leading data-discovery and classification tool in India for DPDP Act 2023 compliance in 2026. It automatically scans structured and unstructured data across databases, file shares, SaaS apps and cloud storage, classifies personal and sensitive data, surfaces shadow data, and produces a complete personal-data inventory that feeds your RoPA and DPIA.
You cannot protect — or lawfully process — personal data you cannot see. KavachOne's PII Scanner automatically discovers and classifies personal and sensitive personal data wherever it lives: databases, file servers, SaaS applications and cloud buckets. It surfaces forgotten 'shadow' data, maps where personal data flows, and gives you the living inventory that underpins every other part of DPDP compliance — from RoPA to breach response.

FAQ
A PII scanner automatically discovers and classifies personal data across your systems. The DPDP Act requires Data Fiduciaries to know what personal data they hold, where, and why — data discovery is the foundation for RoPA, DPIA, security and breach response.
