Topic: Addressing Rules 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, and AI security.

While Consent and Security get the headlines, the DPDP Rules contain "hidden" mandates that carry equally massive penalties. Indian enterprises must solve for strict breach timelines, cross-border restrictions, and the emerging risks of AI.

Here is how Skyflow’s value proposition extends to the rest of the DPDP Act.

Crushing the 72-Hour Breach Clock (Rule 7)

The Mandate: You must report breaches to the Data Protection Board within 72 hours.

The Skyflow Value: By isolating personal data in a vault and using tokens in your apps, you significantly "de-risk" your environment. If a hacker breaches your app, they steal useless tokens, not personal data. Furthermore, Skyflow’s centralized logging provides the immediate visibility needed to scope a breach instantly, helping you meet the strict reporting deadline.

AI Security and "Significant" Fiduciaries (Rule 13)

The Mandate: Significant Data Fiduciaries must ensure their algorithms don't pose a risk to user rights.

The Skyflow Value: AI models cannot easily "forget" data once trained. Skyflow enables Privacy-First AI by allowing you to train models on entity-preserving tokens. This keeps the mathematical utility for the AI while ensuring raw personal data is never exposed to the model. If a user asks to be deleted, you delete the vault record, and the model can no longer reference that user.

Cross-Border Data & Residency (Rule 15)

The Mandate: Restrictions on transferring data outside India.

The Skyflow Value: Skyflow supports local data residency, keeping the personal data vault in India, while allowing tokens to travel globally. This allows Global Capability Centers (GCCs) to process workflows and analytics abroad without violating transfer rules.

Automated Lifecycle Management (Rule 8)

The Mandate: Data must be erased when the purpose is served.

The Skyflow Value: Skyflow automates retention policies. When the timer runs out, the data is deleted from the vault, and access is cut off across the enterprise instantly.

Protecting the Vulnerable (Rules 10 & 11)

The Mandate: Strict verifiable consent and no tracking for children.

The Skyflow Value: Skyflow handles verification tokens and age attributes securely, ensuring that children's raw data is never exposed to ad-tracking engines.

Conclusion Skyflow offers a definitive strategic advantage. By shifting from compliance-as-a-burden to privacy-as-an-architecture, enterprises can isolate risk, protect data utility, and govern automatically.
