Start the scoping call before your DPDP fiduciary review. The data inventory you do not have is the first question your auditor asks.
DPDP Act 2023 · statutory cap
₹250 Cr
That is the DPDP cap your fiduciary review is moving toward. The first question on the worksheet is where the personal data lives. If your answer is a list of systems with no scan behind it, the auditor writes the finding. Aurva is the scan.

What makes Aurva the DPDP-era choice
Indian DSPM built for DPDP fiduciary questions
Most DSPM tools were built for HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR shapes. Aurva was built in India with DPDP framing baked in. The classifier knows what Aadhaar, PAN, GSTIN, and bank IFSC look like. The reports are shaped for the fiduciary worksheet, not for a translated EU template.
The engineering team is local. If your team needs a connector for a domestic SaaS app or a legacy ERP, the request lands with people in the same time zone. INR billing removes the forex slope at renewal.

Who can read what, including over-permissioned IAM roles, public buckets, and stale service accounts.

Where Aurva fits Indian compliance
DPDP makes the fiduciary accountable for personal-data inventory and consent integrity. SEBI CSCRF asks regulated intermediaries for a data-asset register. Both questions start with the same answer, which is where the data actually is. Aurva delivers it.
Personal data inventory in 7 days
Read-only scans of S3, RDS, Snowflake, BigQuery, Azure SQL, Salesforce, Workday, and the on-prem databases inside the first week. The list your CISO has been promising for a year arrives.
Discover
Data-flow map
Where personal data flows from collection to processing to retention. The fiduciary needs to show the path. Aurva draws it from observed access patterns, not from interviews.
Map
Over-permission cleanup
The top public buckets, the stale service accounts, the over-broad IAM roles surface in week one. The first remediation wave closes the highest-weight exposures inside the month.
Remediate
Fiduciary report export
The DPDP fiduciary worksheet and the SEBI CSCRF data-asset register export from one console. The narrative document your team writes shrinks from weeks to days.

Aurva vs Varonis vs BigID vs Cyera
Aurva is one of several DSPM picks. The honest call depends on your stack shape and your auditor preference.
Varonis wins at large enterprises with deep file-server estates and a long Microsoft footprint. The classification depth on unstructured data is best in class.
BigID wins where data privacy program tooling is the bigger ask, including DSAR automation and consent orchestration.
Cyera wins on multi-cloud breadth at global enterprises with a strong AWS plus Azure plus GCP estate.

How a Sirius Star Aurva engagement runs
Aurva India from Sirius Star is procurement, deployment, scanning, and quarterly managed DSPM operations for Indian businesses building their DPDP fiduciary inventory. Delivered from Vashi, Navi Mumbai. INR billing. India-resident tenant.
- Free 8-hour scoping call and data-store inventory
- Aurva tenant provisioning in week one
- Top-10 store scanning in week two, usually S3, RDS, Snowflake, Salesforce, finance DB
- Data-flow mapping plus first remediation wave in week three
- Quarterly retainer for scan refresh, exception handling, fiduciary report export
- DLP enforcement layer paired through Secure Data Guard
If your data sits in three Google Sheets and one shared drive, you need a DLP policy, not a DSPM. We will tell you so. If you already pay for Varonis and the contract has 18 months to run, switching costs more than it saves at midmarket. We run the math openly in the review.
Pair Aurva with the DLP enforcement layer
DSPM tells you what you have and where. DLP stops the data walking out. The two work together. Start at the Cloud and Cybersecurity hub.
For the DLP layer, read the Secure Data Guard guide. For endpoint protection that complements DSPM findings, see Bitdefender GravityZone. For SIEM and detection feed, see DNIF SIEM India.
Aurva India FAQ
What is Aurva and why does it fit DPDP-era Indian businesses?
Aurva is an Indian-built Data Security Posture Management platform. It scans AWS, Azure, GCP, SaaS apps like Salesforce and Workday, and on-prem databases to find where personal data actually lives, who has access, and how it flows. For DPDP-era Indian businesses, it answers the first question every fiduciary audit asks, which is what data you hold and where. Aurva is built and supported from India with INR billing. Pair it with Secure Data Guard for DLP enforcement.
What does Aurva India pricing look like in 2026?
Aurva is licensed by data-store count and scanning frequency, billed in INR. The slope sits below the global DSPM leaders for equivalent coverage because the engineering and support sit in India. Final price depends on the number and type of data stores, the scan cadence, and whether you take the quarterly retainer. Pricing is on-request because the scope changes the unit cost.
Aurva vs Varonis vs BigID vs Cyera for an Indian buyer?
Varonis wins at large enterprises with deep file-server estates. BigID wins where data privacy program tooling is the bigger ask. Cyera wins on multi-cloud breadth at global enterprises. Aurva wins on India residency, INR billing, and a local engineering team that ships connectors quickly. For DPDP-anchored programmes at Indian midmarket, Aurva is the most natural fit.
How does Aurva help with the DPDP Act and SEBI CSCRF?
The DPDP Act treats the data fiduciary as accountable for what personal data the business holds and how it flows. Aurva produces the inventory and the data-flow map that proves the fiduciary knows. SEBI CSCRF asks regulated market intermediaries for similar artefacts. Aurva ships exports shaped for both regulator narratives. Sirius Star runs the quarterly review.
How does a Sirius Star Aurva rollout run?
Week one is a free scoping call and data-store inventory. Week two is Aurva tenant provisioning and scanning of the top-10 stores, usually S3, RDS, Snowflake, Salesforce, and a finance database. Week three is data-flow mapping, access-risk scoring, and the first remediation wave on over-permissioned buckets. A quarterly retainer keeps scans current, exceptions clean, and the audit export shaped for DPDP.
One Aurva retainer. Every data store. Every fiduciary review.
Free 8-hour scoping call. Read-only inventory of your cloud, SaaS, and on-prem data stores, current personal-data exposure, and DPDP fiduciary readiness. Written report inside one business day with the store list, the 24-month TCO, and the remediation calendar.

P.S. A fintech COO in BKC told us last quarter the DPDP fiduciary worksheet had landed with a 14-day deadline, and her data inventory was a spreadsheet from 2024. We ran the Aurva scoping call on Monday. By Friday the top-12 stores were scanned and the personal-data map was live. The compliance head said the worksheet was easier than she expected.
