📊 AI Risk Scoring

Every vendor — scored, ranked, and prioritised.

RuleExpert scores each vendor 0–100 for DPDP risk based on: what categories of personal data they process, where they store it, whether a valid DPA is in place, their incident history, and their security certifications. Scores update automatically when any factor changes.

  • AI risk score 0–100 — refreshed automatically as factors change
  • Score dimensions: data type, residency, DPA status, incidents, certs
  • Critical vendors (score 70+) surfaced at the top of your dashboard

📋 DPA Repository

All your DPAs. One place. Expiry alerts automated.

Every Data Processing Agreement — including for legacy vendors — lives in one repository. DPA status (valid, expiring, missing, expired) is visible at a glance. Renewal workflows trigger 90 days before expiry. Your DPO never chases a vendor at the last minute again.

  • Centralised DPA repository for every processor — including legacy
  • Expiry alerts sent to DPO at 90 days, 30 days, and 7 days before expiry
  • Automated renewal workflow triggered with DPA template attached

Risk scores refresh automatically

When a vendor's DPA expires, a new incident is logged, or storage residency changes, their risk score updates in real time. Your dashboard always reflects the current state — not last month's.

Import your existing vendor list

Upload your current vendor spreadsheet and RuleExpert AI-scores every vendor immediately. Upload existing DPAs and the system flags exactly which §8(2) clauses are missing. Start from where you are.

Zero missed renewals

DPA renewal alerts fire at 90, 30, and 7 days before expiry. A renewal workflow triggers automatically with your DPA template attached. Your DPO is never chasing a vendor at the last minute.

🌍 Cross-Border Transfer Flags

Every foreign processor — surfaced and risk-scored.

Every vendor that processes India personal data on foreign servers is flagged automatically. RuleExpert checks whether the transfer is authorised — by explicit consent, a standard contractual clause in the DPA, or a DPB adequacy decision. Unauthorised transfers are marked Critical.

  • Every foreign-processing vendor flagged with storage location
  • Transfer authorisation checked: consent, SCC, or DPB adequacy
  • Unauthorised transfers marked Critical — immediate action triggered

📝 DPDP DPA Templates

Compliant DPA language — for every vendor type.

RuleExpert includes standard DPA templates for common vendor categories — analytics, payments, logistics, HR, and marketing. Each template includes all clauses required by DPDP Section 8(2). Reviewed by DPDP legal counsel. Your procurement team customises and sends.

  • Templates for analytics, payments, logistics, HR, and marketing
  • All §8(2) required clauses pre-included and counsel-reviewed
