vDPO: Virtual Data Protection Officer

The real challenge in data privacy law compliance is keeping thousands of requirements aligned, updated, and operational. That's what vDPO helps you do.

29 Jurisdictions

Most organizations today operate across borders - whether through customers, employees, vendors, cloud services, subsidiaries, or remote teams located in different countries.

As a result, compliance with a single country's privacy law is rarely sufficient. A company based in one jurisdiction may simultaneously be subject to the privacy requirements of several others, depending on where personal data is collected, processed, stored, or transferred.

Effective privacy compliance therefore requires a multi-jurisdictional approach that considers the obligations arising from all relevant laws, not just the law of the company's home country.

52 Laws

Privacy compliance is no longer about understanding one statute in isolation.

Different jurisdictions regulate consent, notice, children’s data, breach reporting, cross-border transfers, automated decision-making, processor contracts, retention, and individual rights in different ways.

The same business activity can trigger different obligations under India’s DPDP Act, the EU GDPR, US state privacy laws, Singapore’s PDPA, Brazil’s LGPD, China’s PIPL, and other privacy frameworks.

vDPO brings these laws into one structured compliance environment, so DPOs and privacy teams can see which legal requirements apply, how they differ, and what operational controls are needed to comply with them.

3500 Controls

Privacy laws create obligations. But organisations need controls to actually comply with them.

A requirement to give notice, honour consent withdrawal, respond to data principal requests, manage processors, restrict transfers, or report a breach only becomes useful when it is converted into specific tasks, evidence, owners, deadlines, and review points.

vDPO translates legal requirements into 3,500 practical compliance controls. Each control helps a DPO move from “what the law says” to “what the organisation must do”, making privacy compliance trackable, assignable, and auditable.

19 Industries

Privacy compliance is not one-size-fits-all.

Each industry handles different types of personal data, uses different vendors, serves different categories of individuals, and is exposed to different regulatory expectations.

vDPO supports 19 industries and automatically picks the compliance controls most relevant to the client’s sector. This gives the DPO a focused starting point: not a generic checklist, but a sector-aware compliance plan shaped around the way that organisation actually collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data.

Client-Specific Compliance Plans

Inside vDPO, each client has a dedicated compliance profile. You can select the laws and jurisdictions that apply to that client, and the platform automatically narrows the compliance work to the relevant law-specific controls.

This means the DPO does not work from a generic checklist; they work from a client-specific compliance plan.

Each compliance area is organised into practical modules with progress scoring, critical controls, notes, and completion tracking. The platform helps the DPO see what has been done, what remains open, and which areas need urgent attention.

AI-Assisted Document Review and Policy Template Generation

vDPO helps DPOs review and create privacy documents using the client’s selected laws and applicable controls.

For document review, the DPO can upload policies, agreements, notices, or similar documents. vDPO checks them against relevant controls and produces a structured review covering gaps, weak sections, priority findings, suggested improvements, and action points.

For policy creation, vDPO can generate draft templates based on the client’s sector, applicable laws, and compliance requirements. This helps DPOs move faster while keeping the output tied to the actual legal and operational context.

The AI-assisted features are designed to support professional judgment, not replace it. The DPO remains responsible for reviewing, adapting, and approving the final document.
