Why It Matters for AI Governance
Vector databases in RAG systems may store embeddings derived from personal data. Access controls, retention policies, and deletion capabilities must extend to vector stores to maintain DPDP compliance.
How CrewCheck Handles This
CrewCheck's LLM gateway applies vector database-related controls at the request boundary. Every AI call passes through detection, policy evaluation, and audit logging — ensuring that vector database is addressed consistently across all teams and providers.
The governance dashboard provides real-time visibility into vector database events, with drill-down capabilities for compliance officers and exportable evidence for auditors.
