KAVACH कवच for Chartered Accountants
Your clients trust you with their most sensitive data. Are you DPDP-ready?
CA firms process PAN numbers, Aadhaar details, financial records, and tax filings daily. Under the DPDP Act, every piece of client data requires explicit consent, audit trails, and breach protocols. KAVACH makes your practice compliant without disrupting your workflow.
What challenges do chartered accountants face today?
Client PII handled without formal consent
CA firms routinely collect PAN, Aadhaar, bank statements, and ITR data from clients — often via email or WhatsApp — with no formal consent record under DPDP.
Paper-based or no consent management
Engagement letters may cover professional obligations but do not meet DPDP consent requirements. Most firms have no digital consent system.
No systematic compliance across the practice
Individual partners and staff handle data differently. Without a firm-wide compliance framework, a breach by one employee exposes the entire practice.
How does KAVACH solve this for chartered accountants?
Purpose-built capabilities for your industry.
Client Consent Management
Send DPDP-compliant consent requests to clients via email or WhatsApp. Collect, store, and manage consent for each data purpose — tax filing, audit, advisory — with full audit trails.
Practice-Wide Compliance
Roll out a single compliance framework across all partners, associates, and staff. Set data handling policies, monitor adherence, and generate firm-wide compliance reports.
Data Mapping for CA Firms
Automatically map what client data you hold, where it is stored, who has access, and for what purpose. Essential for DPDP compliance and professional liability management.
DSAR Automation
When clients exercise their right to access, correct, or delete data, KAVACH automates the response workflow — ensuring you meet the statutory timeline without manual effort.
What does KAVACH look like in practice?
A CA firm receives client PAN and Aadhaar copies via WhatsApp for ITR filing. No consent record exists for storing this data digitally.
KAVACH sends an automated WhatsApp consent request to the client before processing. The consent is recorded with purpose, timestamp, and expiry — fully DPDP-compliant.
A client requests access to all personal data held by the CA firm under their DPDP rights.
KAVACH's DSAR workflow identifies all data linked to the client across the firm, compiles a data access report, and delivers it within the statutory timeline.
An associate leaves the firm and had access to hundreds of client files on their personal laptop.
KAVACH's data mapping shows exactly which client data the associate accessed. The firm revokes access and generates a compliance report documenting the remediation.
The firm wants to use client financial data for an internal benchmarking study.
KAVACH flags that the original consent was for tax filing only. The firm collects fresh consent for the new purpose before proceeding, avoiding a DPDP violation.
