A rigorous, independent compliance audit conducted by LLM Advocates. We systematically evaluate your data architecture, vendor agreements, consent flows, and security safeguards against all 44 sections of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and DPDP Rules 2025 to eliminate regulatory exposure.
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), organizations collecting or processing digital personal data within India operate as Data Fiduciaries. The law establishes strict statutory accountability across 8 chapters, enforcing non-negotiable obligations regarding consent capture (Section 6), itemized multilingual notice (Section 5), reasonable security safeguards (Section 8(4)), mandatory personal data breach notification to the Data Protection Board of India (Section 8(6)), and Data Principal rights enforcement (Sections 11–14).
A DPDP Compliance Audit is a formal legal and technological examination designed to identify every compliance vulnerability across your infrastructure, third-party data processor contracts, and customer-facing interfaces before the Data Protection Board initiates regulatory inquiries or imposes penalties under Section 33.

A gap assessment is an initial evaluation to identify baseline non-compliance areas and estimate penalty exposure. A full DPDP compliance audit is an exhaustive, evidence-verified statutory review of all internal systems, technical data flows, employee practices, vendor agreements, and incident logs with legal validation.
No. Under the DPDP Act 2023, the statutory obligations and liabilities rest strictly with the Data Fiduciary. An audit provides legal defensibility, evidence of due diligence, and the technical blueprint to achieve compliance, which can mitigate penalties under Section 33(2) factors considered by the Data Protection Board.
