Are Aashray products standalone or can they work together?

Accepted Answer

Both. Each product is designed to address a specific use case independently, while integrations between products can connect related workflows.

Question 4

How does Aashray use AI?

AI is built into specific product workflows rather than being added as a generic layer. Depending on the product, AI can explain regulations, guide control owners, review evidence, answer compliance questions, analyze vendor evidence and contracts, personalize digital wellbeing nudges, or help interpret video rules and incidents.

Question 5

Which regulations and frameworks do Aashray products support?

Accepted Answer

Aashray's current regulatory capabilities include areas such as the **DPDP Act and Rules, CERT-In requirements, RBI requirements, SEBI cybersecurity/CSCRF requirements, and the Indian IT Act and Rules**, depending on the product. Customers can also add their own internal controls, policies, and requirements where supported.

Question 6

Can Aashray products be customized for our organization?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Product configuration can support organization-specific requirements such as roles, departments, business units, policies, controls, branding, workflows, and other contextual information, depending on the product. Aashray is designed to fit into existing enterprise processes rather than require organizations to replace them.

Question 7

How does NiyamSaathi help with compliance evidence?

Accepted Answer

NiyamSaathi lets compliance teams assign controls to the people responsible for performing them. Control owners submit evidence, and the **AI Evidence Checker** reviews the evidence, identifies gaps, explains what may be missing, and can recommend additional evidence or remediation.

Question 8

How does E-Sehmati manage consent?

Accepted Answer

E-Sehmati works as an **API-first consent gateway**. An organization's application, website, CRM, branch, or other channel sends consent activity to E-Sehmati. E-Sehmati processes and records the consent, maintains its lifecycle and history, and returns the relevant result to the organization's system.

Question 9

Can E-Sehmati handle Data Principal requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. E-Sehmati supports workflows for Data Principal requests, including identity verification, case creation, assignment, SLA tracking, coordination with relevant teams and systems, completion, and maintaining an audit trail.

Question 10

How does Parakh 360 manage third-party risk?

Accepted Answer

Parakh 360 supports the vendor lifecycle from **onboarding and risk assessment through evidence collection, contract review, periodic reassessment, renewal, incidents, and offboarding**. Vendors can provide questionnaires and supporting documents through the vendor portal, while AI helps analyze evidence and relevant contract information.

Question 11

What makes Digi Netra different from traditional DLP?

Accepted Answer

Traditional DLP focuses primarily on information stored or transmitted digitally. **Digi Netra applies DLP concepts to video.** It can work with multiple camera vendors without requiring vendor-specific camera SDKs, identify configured visual objects and conditions, apply contextual rules, and generate alerts when those rules are matched.

Question 12

Does E-Pragati block children from using apps or websites?

Accepted Answer

E-Pragati is designed around **nudging and education rather than simply blocking behavior**. It uses context and usage patterns to provide personalized nudges that help children recognize their digital habits and make better choices themselves.

Can schools use E-Pragati without identifying individual students?

E-Pragati is designed to provide **anonymous class-level insights** for normal school views. Schools can understand patterns across a class or group without directly identifying an individual student. Exceptional identity resolution can be controlled and audited by the solution administrator.

Suraksha Chinh places a **visible, configurable watermark directly on screen content**, which can remain visible in screenshots, screen captures, printouts, screen sharing, and photographs of the screen. It also provides an **Invisible Ink** layer for additional protection.

Question 15

How can we evaluate Aashray for our organization?

Accepted Answer

You can explore the products and their capabilities first, then apply for a **Production Pilot** when you are ready to evaluate a product in your environment. A production pilot allows the relevant product and workflow to be assessed against your organization's actual requirements.
