What does Bachao.AI do?

Bachao.AI is an AI-native cybersecurity platform built for Indian SMBs and SaaS startups. It automates Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and delivers DPDP Act 2023 compliance tooling, reducing audit timelines from weeks to days while keeping pricing accessible for founder-led teams across India.

How is Bachao.AI different from manual VAPT firms in India?

Traditional Indian VAPT firms quote two to eight lakh rupees and take three to six weeks per audit. Bachao.AI uses AI agents to discover assets, run authenticated scans, validate exploits, and produce CERT-In format reports within 72 hours at SMB-friendly pricing with continuous monitoring instead of one-shot tests.

Does Bachao.AI cover DPDP Act 2023 compliance?

Yes. Bachao.AI ships a DPDP readiness module covering data principal rights workflows, consent artifact storage, breach notification timers, data fiduciary obligations, and Significant Data Fiduciary controls. It maps your data inventory to Section 8 obligations and generates audit-ready evidence packs for the Data Protection Board of India.

What does VAPT cost in India with Bachao.AI?

Bachao.AI plans start at twenty-five thousand rupees per month for continuous VAPT across one web application, scaling to two lakh rupees per quarter for multi-asset SaaS stacks covering API, mobile, and cloud. Pricing is transparent with no per-vulnerability surcharges and unlimited rescans after remediation.

Are Bachao.AI reports accepted by Indian regulators?

Yes. Bachao.AI generates reports in the CERT-In-prescribed format covering OWASP Top 10, network, API, and mobile vulnerabilities with CVSS scores and remediation steps. Reports are accepted by Indian regulators, banks, and enterprise procurement teams. CERT-In empanelment-grade audits are available through our partner network when explicitly required.

What is the DPDP Act 2023?

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is India's first comprehensive data protection law, governing how organizations collect, process, and store personal data of Indian residents. Penalties for non-compliance reach ₹250 crore per breach, with the Data Protection Board empowered to investigate and enforce.

Who must comply with the DPDP Act?

Every business processing personal data of Indian residents must comply, regardless of where the business is headquartered. This includes Indian SMBs, SaaS startups, e-commerce sites, payment processors, and foreign companies serving Indian users. Government bodies have limited exemptions; private organizations have none.

When is DPDP Act enforcement starting?

The DPDP Act was notified in August 2023. Phased enforcement began in 2024, with the Data Protection Board fully operational by 2025. By 2026, Indian SMBs are expected to demonstrate consent management, breach notification, and data subject rights workflows during routine compliance audits.

What's the difference between DPDP and GDPR?

DPDP focuses narrowly on personal data of Indian residents with simpler consent rules than GDPR's lawful-basis framework. Penalties are flat-fee (up to ₹250 crore) rather than GDPR's revenue-percentage model. DPDP allows cross-border transfers by default unless blacklisted, the reverse of GDPR's approach.
