Shadow IT — SaaS tools and apps adopted without IT's knowledge — is a major DPDP risk because personal data ends up in systems that are unmapped, unsecured and ungoverned. If you lack visibility of SaaS spend and single sign-on coverage, you likely have personal data outside your controls. This checker rates your shadow-IT exposure and points to how to surface it.
Find out how much personal data may be sitting in unsanctioned SaaS outside your DPDP controls.
Teams adopt SaaS tools to get work done, and personal data follows — into trial accounts, free tiers and departmental subscriptions IT never sees. Each is a system with no DPA, no access governance and no retention control: a DPDP gap by default.
The fix is discovery, not a crackdown. Pull SaaS spend, review SSO logs, ask teams, and fold what you find into your inventory and DPA programme.
A discovery method, a SaaS-spend review template, and a triage checklist for apps you find.
One real DPDP development explained in plain English, one practical how-to, one number from our own assessment data. Nothing else — no daily noise, no sales pitch.
