Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between DPDPA CMS and the alternatives?
DPDPA CMS runs inside your own environment and is paid for once, with support fees afterwards. OneTrust, TrustArc and Privy are cloud services sold on subscription. Consentin and GoTrust also offer on-premises editions, on recurring fees.
Can we try DPDPA CMS before paying?
Yes. You can run it in your own environment for three months, with no charge and no commitment, and pay only if you see value.
Is a self-hosted DPDPA tool suitable for a large enterprise?
Yes, and often more so than for a small one. A large organisation holds more personal data, so keeping it inside its own environment removes the most exposure. Self-hosting also runs under the security controls the enterprise already operates, and a one-time fee avoids subscription pricing that grows with users, data principals or visitors.
