This blog explores how encryption, data masking, and intelligent validation make digital forms secure and compliant with global standards like DPDP, GDPR and ISO 27001. Learn how organizations can collect, process and store information safely while ensuring accuracy, privacy, and end-to-end traceability across every submission.
In today’s digital-first business environment, organizations collect and process vast amounts of sensitive data every single day from customer details and financial information to employee onboarding forms and vendor KYC submissions. While digital forms simplify data collection, they also expose enterprises to a growing risk: data breaches and non-compliance with privacy regulations like India’s DPDP Act, GDPR and ISO 27001.
That’s why data security must be built into every layer of your digital form ecosystem not just at submission or storage, but throughout the data lifecycle.
FORMS+ takes this responsibility seriously. It’s not just a digital form builder it’s a compliance-grade form automation platform equipped with encryption, data masking and validation logic that ensures every data point collected remains secure, accurate and private.
Let’s explore how FORMS+ empowers enterprises to collect, transmit and process sensitive data with total confidence.
Data breaches often begin at the weakest point in the chain — the moment data is collected. Traditional online forms, spreadsheets, or email-based data collection expose sensitive information in transit or allow unauthorized access post-submission.
The consequences are serious:
With stricter laws like the DPDP Act demanding explicit consent, traceability and secure data storage, organizations can no longer rely on unsecured form tools or manual validation.
This is where FORMS+ redefines how digital data collection should be done — secure by design.
Every form submission in FORMS+ is protected through AES-256 encryption at rest and HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, ensuring that sensitive information (like personal IDs, bank details, or financial data) remains unreadable to unauthorized users or external attackers.
Example: When a candidate submits their PAN, Aadhaar and salary slips through an onboarding form, every data packet is encrypted before leaving their browser and stays encrypted throughout storage and processing.
Not every user needs full visibility of every data field. FORMS+ employs data masking to display only partial information to specific roles — ensuring that sensitive data remains protected while allowing teams to perform their tasks efficiently.
Example: When a KYC form is routed to the finance team for verification, only the last four digits of the customer’s account number are visible, while full data access is restricted to compliance teams.
A major cause of form errors and non-compliance is incorrect or incomplete data entry. FORMS+ includes intelligent field validation that ensures every piece of data submitted is correct, complete and compliant before acceptance.
Example: If a vendor submits an invoice form with an invalid GST number, the form automatically flags the entry and prevents submission until corrected.
This not only ensures data integrity but also eliminates rework and verification delays downstream.
Security in data collection isn’t just about encryption — it’s about accountability. FORMS+ provides granular access control and audit logs to ensure every action is traceable.
Example: During an HR audit, the admin can trace exactly who accessed an employee’s KYC form, when it was viewed and whether any data was modified.
This level of transparency helps organizations comply with global data governance and audit requirements.
FORMS+ seamlessly integrates with ERP, HRMS, CRM and DMS+ while maintaining encrypted data flow across platforms. APIs use token-based authentication, ensuring only verified systems can exchange information.
Example: When a customer fills out a loan application form, data is securely passed to the organization’s CRM and DMS+, maintaining encryption throughout the transfer.
FORMS+ is designed for compliance-driven enterprises. The platform adheres to:
This ensures enterprises can collect, process and store data confidently without worrying about breaches or non-compliance penalties.
A leading financial institution used FORMS+ to digitize its customer onboarding process. The bank faced compliance challenges with unsecured PDF-based KYC forms, leading to data exposure and manual verification delays.
