We build the systems, not just the advice.
Asveera Data Protection and Compliance is a data protection and compliance consultancy in Bengaluru. We build compliance into the systems small and medium businesses already run on.
A technology practice that reads the law, not a law firm that gestures at technology.
Most data protection problems in a small or medium business are not questions of interpretation. They are questions of fact. How many systems hold customer data. Which tools did the team adopt without telling anyone. Who still has access to the shared drive. Whether the consent box on the website records anything at all.
Those questions get answered by sitting inside your admin consoles and talking to the people who actually use each system. They do not get answered by a legal opinion, and a business that commissions an opinion first usually ends up paying twice.
So our work produces maps, registers, drafted documents and a dated record of what you did. An opinion tells you what is expected of you. A record shows what you did about it.
We also keep the scope honest. A thirty person business does not need the control set of a bank, and we will not sell one. Where the right answer is a cheaper tool, or no tool at all, that is what the report says. Engagements end with your team running the work, because we do not design them to leave you dependent on us.
Four rules we hold to on every engagement.
We start with your systems, not a questionnaire
Discovery goes tool by tool through the admin panels, the drives, the group chats and the automations. A questionnaire records what people remember. A console records what is actually configured, and the difference between the two is where the problems live.
We size the work to your actual risk
Controls scale with what you hold and what could go wrong, not with what sounds thorough in a proposal. If a step does not apply to your business, it does not go into the scope, and you do not pay for it.
We draft, you adopt
Every recommendation arrives as a document ready to use, not as a line item telling your team to go and write something. Where a document only works if your people own it, we say so and build it with them.
We take no money from vendors
We accept no referral fees, commissions or reseller margins from any platform, tool or service we recommend. If we tell you to buy something, the only reason is that you need it.
Businesses large enough to hold real data, small enough to feel it.
Our work suits organisations holding meaningful amounts of personal data without a dedicated compliance function. That usually means somewhere between ten and three hundred people.
Services and professional firms
Consultancies, agencies, training providers and professional practices holding client records, identity documents and long email histories.
Retail and direct to consumer
Online stores and brands with customer accounts, loyalty data, marketing lists and a chain of logistics and payment partners.
Software and app companies
Product teams holding end user data in production systems, logging more than they realise, and shipping features built on third party services.
Institutions and education
Schools, coaching centres and training institutions holding records about young people, their families and their results.
Nonprofits and associations
Trusts, foundations and member bodies running on volunteer effort, shared drives and WhatsApp groups, often with funder reporting obligations.
Manufacturing and distribution
Businesses whose personal data sits mostly in human resources, attendance systems, dealer networks and vendor records rather than in a product.
We work in regional languages. Where your customers, staff or members need notices and training in a language other than English, we deliver them in that language rather than translating at the last minute.
How engagements are set up.
These terms are standard across our engagements and are written into the engagement letter before work begins.
Your information stays yours
Nothing from an engagement appears in our marketing, case studies or anywhere else without your written agreement. We do not name clients by default.
End to end, or only the steps you need
Take the work end to end or pick only the steps you need. The engagement letter records what you chose, what each step produces and what we need from you. Anything added later is agreed in writing before it starts.
No vendor money, ever
We accept no referral fees, commissions or margins from any platform or service we recommend. Our only income from an engagement is the fee you pay us.
Tell us what your business runs on.
Thirty minutes is enough for us to tell you which gaps matter most and which steps your business actually needs.
